About
moi.jpg

Welcome to my site. I'm a photographic artist and educator from Suffolk, UK with a passion for storytelling. My background is in Photojournalism and I have a Master's degree from the Royal College of Art. In 2017, I became the winner of Sky Arts Master of Photography - a television contest based in Rome.

​

My specialism is blending of my own and archival imagery onto different natural and man-made objects, a hand-rendered process that I perfected when awarded a Develop Your Creative Practice grant from the Arts Council, England in 2021. ​  My journey has led me to create meaningful connections within communities across Suffolk and invites participants to turn their stories and personal narratives into powerful visual experiences.

​

My most recent community project Touchstone uses photography and beach pebbles to explore grief through creativity and action funded by an ACE National Lottery grant.​  My personal photography, titled 'Close to Home', explores my own perception of nature and the countryside where I live. I am opening tuition opportunities to share my approach in the rural Suffolk landscape.  Feel free to use the contacts tab to get in touch.
