My friend Alison calls me a polymath and I like that. I am an artist, a wordsmith, author and publisher, radio and TV broadcaster, speaker, modern philosopher, photographer, gardener, cake creator, animal lover and all round curious person.

I have always been an avid reader and scribbler since childhood. Animals and the outdoors are critical to my wellbeing. As a kid I constantly had my nose in a book. I didn’t imagine I would write one though. I’ve written six so far.

My career has been in publishing and communications in one form or another - magazines, books, marketing, pr, radio and TV. Latterly I have found my voice as an artist and have taken that to a new level in accepting commissions and curating my first exhibition.

I have been involved in community radio as a presenter for seven plus years. Some of my more famous guests have included Jonathan Cainer, Lynda Bellingham, authors Karen Maitland and Stephen Booth, Elkie Brooks, Dillie Keane (Fascinating Aida) actress Claire Sweeney and novellist Fanny Blake.

I am available for writing and editing assignments and commissioned paintings. Do check out my website for more info.
