My journey as a Nature photographer started in Sweden, 2014. The beauty of the Northern Lights had a profound effect upon my senses and inner world. Lying on the snow whilst watching the skies dancing, I decided there and then to learn how to capture the Natural world with a camera.
Since then, I have continued to enjoy visiting remote places and capturing fleeting moments to share. I would like my images to provide a window to enable people to share my experience.
My photo expeditions have helped me to be mindful of how human behaviours affects our planet. Photography can help create a conscious social awareness to protect and conserve our planet.

In 2022, I started experimenting with Multiple Exposure techniques. I am creating a new website to display my photo series collection. The multiple exposure series will be included in this website -on display before the end of September 2024.

I began drawing and painting at home. In 2010 I completed the two year City Lit Fine Art Course, and in 2011 David Cranswick introduced me to the traditional painting methods and materials of the European Old Masters. I am fascinated by people, nature and wildlife, light and shadow, reflections and textures. I enjoy working in a variety of mediums, my favourite being the one I am using at a specific time. My paintings and linocuts were exhibited at the Society of Women Artists at Mall Galleries (2014) and Salon des Refuses Summer Exhibition (2017). I was shortlisted for the Royal Society of Portrait Painters (2016), and the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition (2013; 2017).
