About:
I'm a thirty something designer/artist living in a small village in the east midlands of the UK where I fill my time growing vegatables, making objects of peripheral interest, volounteering for various arts organisations and occasionally embarking on grand schemes of personal artistic intrigue.
Work:
Trained as a theatre designer I'm currently working therapeutic part time hours and volunteering my time to Scenography - The Theatre Design Website (as well as a number of other arts organisations). Although no longer committed to working in full time theatre I occasionally take on smaller projects. As an artist and designer I'm interested in experimenting with installation and site specific pieces that engage audiences in a less formal way. However the ritual and ceremony of theatre still excites me and remains a passion.
