I am a mysterious figure and can often be found in my photo studio or wandering around in the cheese aisle. Raised in the Industrial Black Country area of England, I am fully aware of the UK class system and made a vow to only bring out my real accent at parties, though occasionally an “Alright Bab” does slip out. At 18 years old I threw off the shackles of working down the mine and headed straight for the bright lights of London to be an artist. Turns out that London was full, so I boarded a boat, the Queen Mary 2 to be exact, and sang my way across the seas as a nightclub singer. Upon arrival in New York, I set to work cobbling together a career of sorts as an actress, writer, and photographer. I worked with with Sting on his musical The Last Ship which, inexplicably, took place in the Mormon stronghold of Utah. I moved from there to a four-line role in the tv show Mr Robot in which I played a “British party girl” which was, as you can imagine, an enormous stretch, I wrote and shot for various national publications, I worked full time as an in-house photographer at a large coffee company and at an NYC based advertising agency before branching out on my own as a freelance photographer. Since then my life as an artist has taken off. I’ve shot for large international companies who paid me the big bucks and small start-ups who refuse to pay until I’m literally stalking them at their WeWork offices, and everything in between.
Like you, I am many things, I have succeeded and I have failed. Here are some things about me that you may wish to know: I woo men with my sensuous and god-like kazoo playing. I know the exact layout of all 6 train exits. I am an expert in crown molding, a veteran in love, and an outlaw in Cuba. I make 30 minute rice in 20 minutes. While on holiday in Wales, I successfully negotiated with a group of terrorists who had seized a small bakery. I’m a ruthless bookie. I know who the Zodiac Killer is. Children trust me. I can hurl tennis rackets at small moving objects with deadly accuracy. I’ve read Midnight’s Children. I work freelance for the CIA (mainly in accounting). On weekends, to let off steam, I partake in full contact origami. I have played Hamlet. I make gourmet-level four course meals using only a sandwich press, and I have spoken with Elvis. One thing I have not done, however, is work with you to bring your project to life. So let’s add that to list shall we?
