Hi,
I live in Jersey in the Channel Islands. I've been working as an artist/arts worker and teacher for most of my adult life. I managed to get my art degree in 2009. I completed it part time over ten years. By then I already had 4 kids, was making my living by selling my work and being an art teacher.

BA in Fine Art 1999-2009 - It took such a long time as it was a course run on the island as a satellite degree from Plymouth university. Two years part time represented one full time year. Each set of two years had to be pioneered and often took a few years to approve...so it was two years in college one or two years out, making work but not being assessed and so on, until I finally completed in June 2009.

1982-84 London Diploma of furniture and Diploma in Art and Design.
