I have twenty years experience working and exhibiting as a photographer. Educationally, I am currently a Senior Lecturer at Leeds Metropolitan University and have written and delivered modules for both Sheffield Hallam and Lincoln and Humberside Universities. I have worked alongside arts organisations and Galleries, such as Sheffield Council and the Site Gallery, delivering specifically aimed workshops for schools and events for the Sheffield Children's Festival. Arts Council funded events such as 'Families of Steel' involved both school pupils and their families in a range of activities. I have also acted as a consultant at various times with the above organisations. I have received numerous grants for my personal work from Arts Council England, the most recent of which involved working with veterans from World War 2. I have won awards for my photography and production work, although modesty (and space) prevents me from listing them all here.
