About Me


I'm either ordinary or extraordinary - depends on your opinion. I consider myself to be an interested person - that is to say I'm always interested in people: what they do and what they know. No two people experience things in exactly the same way!
People can teach you things that you didn't know and I hate to pigeon hole myself into saying that I am only interested in one genre of music; one academic discipline; one artform etc...
If you want to talk to me about something I know, then please do, but if you'd rather teach me the complexities of quantum physics then please - go nuts!
Amongst other things, I like Visual Art! Nothing fancy. Nothing snobby. No standing around in front of paintings deconstructing the inner workings of the artist's psyche.
I run an online visual arts portal called Good Gallery Guide. It's both an online magazine with news and features as well as a guide to art galleries across the UK.
The site launched in September 2006 and is growing all the time. What we're trying to do is promote the visual arts to people who wouldn't otherwise consider visiting art galleries or exhibitions as well as keeping regular artists/gallery visitors up-to-date with what's going on throughout the UK.
You can see the site by clicking on the big logo below. If you have visited any of the galleries that are currently featured then please feel free to leave your own comments about your experiences...
In September this year I shall be heading back to Newcastle to run the Great North Run. I'm doing it to raise money for FSID - a fantastic charity that helps thousand of families across the UK.
If you'd like to support me in doing this, then you can sponsor me using the link below, it'll give you a nice warm feeling inside too!

When I grow up I want to have a big house with its own library! I can't imagine I'd ever read them all but they do look good!
