I am currently working towards a PhD in anthrozoology and environmental photography, you can read about my current projects here. My undergraduate degree is in Graphic Design from Camberwell College of Arts, London where I explored human shark interactions through underwater photography. You can read more about my travels here. I also have over 16 years of formal and informal teaching experience in the UK, Cayman Islands and the USA.
My art is inspired by my travels around the world. I mainly focus on threatened and forgotten habitats and have a passion for conservation and social change. I work in a range of disciplines including film, photography, fine art and collage.
