A little about me

Picture
Having originally studied textile design at West Surrey College of Art & Design, I ran the 'Craftsmen Potters Shop' (now Contemporary Ceramics) in the West End and worked in PR for a number of acclaimed visitor attractions in the South East before taking up photography full time. 

During this period I photographed castles, historic houses and gardens including Hever Castle, Leeds Castle and Penshurst Place & Gardens for publicity material.  I also liaised with professional photographers and film crews on shoots, an experience which helped shape my approach to creative photography.
​
​I enjoy experimenting with ideas, colour and form to evoke an emotional response and express my artistic vision. 
The photomontages comprise multiple images, layered and blended digitally using a variety of tools and techniques. More recently I have been working with experimental aspects of photography alongside conventional techniques to capture the transient beauty of the natural world.
