I was born in Pennsylvania and lived in New England, USA. We moved to the UK when I was nine.

I graduated from Middlesex University, with a BA Graphic Design in 1984. I worked at the National Portrait Gallery, London, 1984 and lived in Italy in 1986. I returned to study Photography at the Sir John Cass School of Art in 1986-1990. I started exhibiting in 1991, having won an award to be part of a group show at the Cambridge Darkroom. A documentary film was made about the four award winners, I Close My Eyes.

I gained my Post Graduate Certificate in teaching in 1995. I started my career in teaching at degree level at Northampton University in 1995. I won a bursary to make a permanent photographic installation at the Liverpool Institute for Performing Arts in Liverpool. I studied for an MA in Drawing at Wimbledon School of Art from 1996-1998. From 1999 to 2005, I was Course Leader for BA Photography at Anglia Ruskin University, Cambridge. I worked as a photo editor with internationally recognised book designer, Stu Smith. I have been in numerous group shows in the UK, USA and in France. I am currently a lecturer in Photography & Fine Art at London Metropolitan University, London.
