Thank you for visiting my website, where I share my work experience and love of nature.
Through my profession as a nature writer and visual storyteller, I curate awareness initiatives that weave together images with poetic narratives through inspirational publications and displays that explore our complex, ever-changing relationship with the natural world. Over the years, I have been involved in many diverse and fascinating programmes within marine and wilderness conservation, each created to motivate closer connections with nature.
It is my deepest wish, at this pivotal time, that we find a way to live in grace and harmony with lands and creatures that are still wild and free. I truly believe that living as simple a life as possible and being mindful of our material impacts adds a significant depth to one’s life that resonates with the knowledge that we are both caring and cognisant of the wider living world around us.
I have learned over the years that it is through our emotions that we care, and it is through caring that we heed the call to respond. This interest in our emotional and psychological need to immerse in and connect with nature so that we feel more integrated and less alienated from the world around us has led me to an increasing awareness of the value of creating a way of life that is simple yet holds within this simplicity a profound depth – from being able to truly feel ourselves part of the natural world and the interconnectedness of life itself.
It is in the delicate balancing of all that we have achieved in our modern world with the deeper spiritual dimensions of reverence for the earth that we move eloquently and sensitively towards the wholeness of our lives.
