About Me

artist . writer . film maker . consultant . model

My life started in the surreal environment of a small town in New Mexico, near where they first drop-tested the atom bomb. I'm sure that explains a few things. At age 2, I drew my first face. At 7, in the basement of a military installation, I was first exposed to programming. By 9 I was writing stories and poetry. At 15 I got into fashion and the fun of modelling. I followed my passions for creativity and science and by 17 I was at university studying Computer Science and Fine Art. I've travelled the world and worked on some amazingly creative technical projects. Now at 38, I'm still working with emerging technologies and writing some novels, but living in London as a dual national - which is, of course, not surreal at all. ;-)

The alternative list

I have to vote for my favourite film in BAFTA, but my top 3 favourite films didn't make it in this year!  Not to say that the other BAFTA films aren't good, but they weren't my personal top ones....

I've succumbed

Yes, I've finally given in and joined the MySpace crowd! I'm basically planning for this to be a public space on all the things I'm doing... Some of it's promotional - book I'm writing, artwork I hope...
