About the author –

Originally trained and worked as a physiotherapist but never stopped painting and writing. Self taught I have developed this side of my life for over thirty years. Writing, photography, a love of nature and interest in far-flung place began at an early age and so, a keenness to travel and meet with other cultures has taken me around the world.

‘My desire is to capture the very life and spirit of my subjects, whether portraits, iconic landscapes or travel experiences, and to share these with my readers and viewers’.
