Writer, Photographer and Producer

Originally trained in visual communication, receiving a Fellowship in Photography at the Photographic Gallery, Southampton University, under the stewardship of Leo Stable, and part of the development of the John Hansard Gallery there. Since this time my interest has been in collaborative projects using photography and film, visual arts, oral history, writing and digital media. The aim of this work has always been to build a sense of community, using creative activities in everyday life. It is an inclusive, collaborative process. My practice is rooted in engaging with people, their stories, talents and experiences – a simple yet infinitely complex process.

First record bought: With The Beatles. Second record bought: Ride a White Swan, T.Rex. Favourite writer: Edgar Rice Burroughs and Richard Brautigan. Can’t decide.

Got a BAFTA as producer of ‘Lifting the Weight’ with Geese Theatre.
