After an early career in dance and performance I moved to Brighton from London.  With the help and guidance of an inspirational tutor I started to work.

I remain passionate about dance and my background draws me inexorably to movement, colour and rhythm. This involves a spontaneous and intuitive approach to my work and incorporates a random process of destruction and re-working. This is a strong life force that inspires me to look towards other worlds and dimensions; to develop a third eye.

I have a great interest in Cosmology and space exploration – this is also a constant source of inspiration.
