Having studied fine art in Durban and Cape Town, South Africa, I then went on to carve a successful career in advertising design. 1994 saw me settling in London and continuing my career in advertising. In 2002, I abandoned London and a role as Creative Services Director and moved to Cambridgeshire for a quieter life and to embrace my role as a mum. Unable to control the need to create, I established “Murals and More” in 2003. I have completed many projects for private clients and also for schools and small businesses which include spectacular mural art for children as well as interior design projects for clients locally and as wide spread as London, Cambridge, Manchester and Sheffield.
