ABOUT ME

I was born and raised in England and studied Fine Art & Design before moving to California in my mid-twenties. An offer to create children's picture books led to writing and designing over 300 novelty, pop-up and activity books for clients such as Random House, Disney, Scholastic and Marvel. Although I painted during those years, my love of photography grew and my photographs have appeared in many publications.

Following extended periods in Mexico, two years in Provence and cabin life high in the Rocky Mountains, I now live in Los Angeles. My travels have influenced my use of vibrant colours and textures and my training and practice as a fine artist add painterly qualities to my photographs - which are as diverse as my experiences yet have a common thread.

I see whimsical, often wry images in most of the pieces I create and I title my works accordingly, but in the end, it’s each viewer’s own interpretation that matters and I encourage people to see whatever pleases them.

I use simple hand-held cameras and available light only. No tricky lenses, no Photoshop, no cut and paste. I work hard to make each work unique, meaningful and a pleasure for people to own.
