A little about me
Having originally studied textile design, I ran a West End ceramics gallery and worked in public relations for over 20 years before taking up photography full time in 2016.
As PR for a number of heritage attractions in the south east, I had the opportunity to photograph castles, historic houses and acclaimed gardens when they were closed to the public. It also meant I could observe professional photographers and film crews first hand, an experience which helped shape my approach to creative photography. My photomontages comprise multiple images which are layered and blended digitally on screen using a variety of tools and techniques. More recently I have been working with the experimental aspects of photography alongside conventional techniques to capture the transient beauty of the natural world. Exhibitions
