Born in Pretoria in South Africa, I currently live in Ireland. I was a primary school teacher for over 15 years. My role as a teacher allowed me to utilize my love of creative activities such as art, embroidery and crafts of all description and I loved being able to work with children in developing both their talents and their characters by encouraging their use of imagination.
