Adventurer, sailer, mother and admirer of animals and the wild places I find them. I studied scultptural ceramics and painting completing a BA in fine arts in 1995. Sculpture and painting was slightly awkward to create at sea on sailing boats, gradually my camera became my creative out let. I have worked as an in water swimming guide with Humpback whales for the past 17 years. The marine world is where I find sanctuary, exploration and inspiration.
