As a theatre educator, director, and producer with over 20 years of experience, my artistic journey is deeply rooted in the power of storytelling and creative expression. I believe in the transformative potential of the arts, not only as a means of entertainment but as a vehicle for personal growth, community connection, and cultural dialogue. My work is a fusion of theatre, visual art, and education—each discipline informing and enhancing the other.
Having directed and produced large-scale, sold-out productions, including well-known musicals and plays such as The Woman in Black, I have honed my ability to craft immersive experiences for audiences. As a licentiate member of Trinity College London in teaching Speech and Drama and holding an MA in Theatre Directing from the University of East London, I strive to pass on the knowledge and skills I’ve accumulated to the next generation of performers. Over the years, I have trained countless actors and students, empowering them to explore their own voices and creative instincts.
My dual role as an expressionist seascape and landscape artist feeds directly into my work in theatre. The emotional intensity and boldness of my visual art find resonance in my stage designs, where I seek to evoke atmosphere, depth, and mood through carefully crafted sets. Every production is, for me, a blank canvas—a space where my love for storytelling, performance, and visual art merge.
In addition to my work with professional productions, I am passionate about nurturing young minds through art, drama, and speech lessons. Whether it is guiding a child to find their voice or helping them develop an appreciation for the creative arts, I see each lesson as an opportunity to ignite their imagination and inspire confidence.
Ultimately, my mission is to create a bridge between the visual and performing arts, fostering a holistic artistic experience that touches both the creator and the audience. Through theatre and art, I aim to leave a lasting impact, offering a space for reflection, expression, and transformation.
