As a photographer my inspirations include colour, music, little phrases that stick in my mind, beauty, tranquillity, the sea, nature and the changing seasons. Living on the Isle of Wight, just off England's south coast I have many opportunities for photographing coastal, rural, town and nature scenes, as well as close-ups of flowers in my garden - another favourite theme.

I've developed a great fascination with natural light and hope to develop further my understanding and skill in capturing its beauty. I'm also keen to explore how I can produce images that excite all the senses - so you can smell, hear and feel what it was like to be there, not just see it.

Unfortunately, though, I am something of a fair-weather photographer, so there are many times when I just stay home and photograph my own artwork and needlecrafts. Other images are digital creations - digital collage or other images that depend for their existence on digital manipulation. I love beautiful sunrise and sunset photography, but it takes a lot to get me out of bed that early in the morning!
