I have been working in the creative arts field for many years starting in professional theatre. In  1975 I was the founder and co-director of the Cardiff based Paupers Carnival Theatre in which I also performed.

During the 15 year life of the company I found myself drawing on a life long interest in all areas of art and craft. This fascination led me to create props, sets and puppets for many of the productions as well as to designing publicity material and producing some of the companies photographic records.

Since the closure of the company in 1990 my love of the visual arts, and photography in particular, has led me to explore the art and craft of Digital Imaging and to offering out the services outlined on this site.

I am, and always have been endlessly fascinated by the world around me and art and spirituality in its many forms have reflected that fascination back to me through the eyes and the work of other like minded individuals. As for my own personal practice, Tai Chi Chuan has become my most treasured discovery and I have played and taught it now for many years.

While my work as a visual artist and digital technician is, by its very nature  a solo activity, playing the tai chi form with my students on a summers evening is a sublime moment of sharing and exchange. Two very different but complimentary ways of exploring, expressing and experiencing the life-force at its creative best.
