Please describe yourself and your areas of interest.

Professionally I am a photographer, I have work in the V and A, the National Portrait Gallery, The National Mining museum, British Film institute , the Henry Moore institute, I am the founder of Airestreet Darkroom in Leeds. I have run workshops for various charities and at the darkroom I set up, along with 7 of my students, from Leeds College of Art. I am the founder of the Enfield and District Dyslexia Association, I have always had an interest in community, I like being part of a community and building communities.

Why did you become a Companion of the Guild?

The Guild interests me, I enjoy the arts and crafts movement, the pre ravelles and the ideas and philosophy of John Ruskin. So it seemed a natural progression to apply for membership ( please check my spelling) thank you
