About the Artist

Writing and sketching has always been my main route to contentment, my way of singing on the inside.

From an early age the process of transforming my random thoughts into poems, stories and drawings has always nagged at me. Eventually, over the years that process has had its way with me, leading me from practicing a cathartic hobby to today, as a student of Creative Writing at Norwich City College.

The student experience has rewarded me with a sense of accomplishment and integrity. This has proven to be a most amenable way for transforming inner vision to outer reality. I am always watching people. I find the unpredictable nature of this feeds my imagination and provides me with many opportunities for happy spontaneity that in turn throws influence over my creativity.

I often write in a light-hearted and humorous muddle. Inspired and invigorated simply by what I saw yesterday or yester-year.
