I'm a Lecturer in Film & Media Production at Coventry University where I teach a practice based approach to interactive, immersive and multimedia design aimed for developing theoretically informed media practitioners
that contribute to society in a progressive, informed and innovative way.
My Doctoral research explores vernacular or autodidactic self-representation in digital spaces with a focus on the creative practices of typically marginalised individuals that resist, subvert and move forward normative cultural representations of gender, race, class and age.
I am also a New Media Artist with 40+ years of practical research in digitally based work. As one of the pioneers of this medium, my digital artwork has been exhibited internationally. I have been employed in a variety of leadership high tech creative industry roles and own and operate a media business for 15 + years specialising in providing digital content, technology and staff to brand, produce and capture events.

About
New Media Art
Surreal stream of consciousness visual poem inspired by a year of living alone during a pandemic, compounded by living in a foreign country and widowhood. Digitally painted underwater water photography animated through GLSL shaders and audio reactive software.
Music by Hector Zazou/Laurie Anderson collaborative sound track, “into your dreams”, from the brilliant album, “Strong Currents “ provides the perfect zeitgeist during these strange lockdown/pandemic/isolation times.
