Artist Statement

I am a qualified teacher with many years experience of using the digital technologies creatively in schools with pupils of all ages and with adults. This has included introductory and advanced level information technology and advanced level media studies. I am also a qualified youth leader and have run video and animation sessions in this context. My work has included promotional video and photographs for schools.

I teach advanced digital imaging techniques to professional photographers in order for them to gain certification. My adult training sessions also include introductory still and video digital imaging.

My own work has been part of a number of exhibitions including the Royal West of England Academy Autumn Exhibition, the Royal Photographic Society Annual Print Exhibition and the Stroud Foto Forum Exhibitions. I have had a three week one man exhibition at the subscription rooms in Stroud titled “Africal Lives – Images of Gabon”.

The digital era presents schools with unprecedented potential for students to engage practically and at a very high standard in fulfilling imaging programmes that complement and extend their academic and leisure activities. Above all, it is fun.
