About Me

I'm a gradute of art and a qualified science communicator. I've been a planetarium and science show presenter in Cardiff Bay! I travelled the UK and taught kids about science with explosions and slime. Great fun! Then, in a fit of madness, I moved on... I've lived in a variety of places - Cardiff, Swansea, Sheffield, Milton Keynes... I've tried several career paths too, but it's time to choose a ladder. Now, I'm back home in Shropshire to live life as it should be ... with family, a good career, great friends and past times to brighten the dullest moments.

My Interests

I adore my home county.... I'm definately a 'Proud Salopian'!

A little of my heart will always belong to Wales too. It's a fabulously friendly place and Cardiff is well worth a visit! All I can say is, there's no place like Ponty :) The site below is making a film in Ponty this year, so if you're in South Wales (or even if you're not), lend them your support.

I love reading, art, photography (when I have a working camera that is), theatre, swimming, horseriding and the odd bit of writing when I find my muse.

As an artist, I love the Pre-Raphaelites, Art Nouveau, fantasy art and manga. I have quite a few favourites:

Mucha

Erte

Brian and Wendy Froud

John William Waterhouse

I'd like to meet:

Music:
