About me

1950s

I was born in South West London in the year that Elvis joined the US Army.

 

1960s

I retired from my first career as a fashion model at the end of the Sixties (That's me, top middle & bottom right around 1964).

 

1970s

At the end of the Seventies I read English at Brasenose College, Oxford.

 

1980s

In the mid Eighties I ran the film distribution library at the London Film Maker’s

Co-operative.

 

My experimental animation has been screened internationally and supported by the British Council and the Arts Council.

 

1990s

In the Nineties I worked for five years with the internationally renowned reminiscence charity Age Exchange.

I ran 'Telling & Showing', a video production company making training, information and local history video programmes.

I taught animation for Lambeth Community Education Service at the Strand Film Workshop and worked in the Media Department of South Thames further education college.

 

In this millennium

2004 - 2015:  I ran Camden Council's groundbreaking Intergenerational Development programme and co-founded the London Intergenerational Network.

 

I also volunteered with the educational charity Out For Our Children working to improve resources and practice in schools around representation of same-sex parented families.

 

2018 - 2024:  I worked as a Development officer on Camden Council's Community Investment Programme building new social and affordable housing. 

 

Now

I make metal sculpture and swim as often as possible.

What comes next? Who knows...
