I trained as an artist at Sheffield Art College and
Reading University incorporating photography to explore ideas of change
and time in natural environments. For 8 years I taught art and
photography in Secondary Schools and visited Cornwall in all seasons
excited by the wild, ancient landscape and the constantly changing
atmosphere of the sea. In 1979 I moved to the magical Rocky Valley area
on the North Cornwall Coast and continued my own art and photography
practice as well as teaching in schools and facilitating creative arts
workshops for adults and children.
For over 20 years Tai-chi/Chi-Kung study, training and practise has revitalized the core aspect
of my life and I have added to this precious treasure chest a variety of ancient and modern strategies
and practices which promote a connected and meaningful sense of well-being. My passion is to share these gifts.
My background as an artist combined with Chi energy based experience has
led to the 'Vibrant Life' series of paintings and writings which are
inspired by the free-flowing pathways of energy in the organs and different
body systems. This project has been developing for 10 years already and
is proving to be a life-long journey!
