Born in Staffordshire and educated in Shropshire, I pursued my academic studies at Reading University. My career began in journalism, working in Amsterdam, where I honed my skills in writing and reporting. Upon returning to England, I explored my artistic side, painting and exhibiting my work in various galleries. My passion for poetry, which had always been a part of my creative journey, led me to publish collections of my poems, often featuring my paintings on their covers. Currently, I am engaged in Doctoral Research focused on the poetry of Richard Barnfield. I have published several collections of my own poetry and prose through my imprint, Harry Art Publishing. My work continues to blend visual and literary arts, reflecting a lifelong commitment to creative expression.
