About Me

These bits are always really hard to write so I guess it's easiest to say that some people think I'm just a 'little odd', introverted yet friendly, manic but chilled out. Mostly self trained as a multi-media artist/photographer I ditched art at school due to dictatorship-like teaching styles. I went on to study Philosophy in the University of Birmingham which allowed me enough time to experiment with styles and subject matter. I love gut reactions and responses to little things that spiral into massive issues (although I hate that word!). Most of all I love to do what I do and have plenty to be getting on with... In the meantime you can see more pics on my flickr page
