About Me:
I’m a fog-loving writer and photographer who lives in the green hills of the English Cotswolds. On my 15th birthday, my dad gave me an Olympus Trip camera and made our downstairs cloakroom into a home darkroom—I’ve been taking pictures ever since. I have an MA in Modern & Contemporary Poetry from the University of Bristol.
My book Chasing Fog is a meditation on fog and mist, a love song to weather and nature’s power to transform:
‘eerie and evocative’ - Cal Flyn | ‘haunting and beautiful’ - Rebecca Schiller |
‘lushly sensuous’ - Sharon Blackie | 'a beautiful adventure' - Alice Vincent |
My work has appeared in publications including The Simple Things, Ernest Journal, Project Calm, Country Homes & Interiors, Oh Magazine, Metro and Lionheart. I spent three years as the Deputy Editor of independent lifestyle magazine 91.
I share my smallest stories over on Instagram.
