CURRENT MISSION

Be on the ship of fools...

ABOUT ME

I am an overworked and underpaid art gallery prostitute that enjoys having a good time when permitted. Living in Newcastle allows me to visit the great beach we have here, and hop around the various art gallery projects that we have around testing the assortments of wines on offer.

Currently I'm working as a teachers aide, (until my school runs out of money, or the school finds out what I tend to do in my spare time!). And I'm also an artist that works in the medium of photography, with my specialty being older techniques such as; cyanotype, van dyke & pinhole.

PHILOSOPHY

The eagle never has so much time, until he has submitted and learned from the crow.

Teach, Learn, Share

Aim for success, not perfection. Never give up your right to be wrong, because then you will lose the ability to learn new things and move forward with your life. The person who never makes mistakes is the one who will never get out and do anything.
