My story
I grew up in an antique dealer's home, my father Fred was a fine arts painter by art school training and and an Ancient Art & Antiquities dealer since 1963. As a child growing up I had always been surrounded by beautiful objects d'art at home.
​
From these very early formative years, I was drawn into the world of fine arts from drawing techniques to painting and sculpture along with the appreciation of antiques. A magical world was opened up to me with exciting curiosity in life art and design. These valuable early experiences honed my art and design sensibilities, thus being instrumental in lighting my future path.

Not so surprisingly at the age of 19 after having finished secondary school, I enrolled at Central St Martins School of Art and Design in London, there I studied on the foundation course in Art & Design. Everyday I was surrounded by really interesting and very creative people, these were positively formative years. further down the road I was drawn towards studying Architecture at the Architectural Association School of Architecture London, where I gained my Undergraduate Degree.
Years later after a career in carpentry, joinery and furniture making, being my other passions, I returned back to education to gain my Postgraduate Diploma in Architecture from UEL, completing my time at university.
After a short stint working as an architectural designer with Glas Architects in London, I set up my own practice 'space3 architecture' where I designed various residential projects and entered some international design competitions, this again was an informative and exciting experience.

My enduring relationship with photography has been an instrumental part of my creative energy since the age of 18, it keeps alive the sense of seeing and appreciating beauty which exist all around.
