Just a little bit about me
Conservationist. Divemaster. Creative. Artist. Mother. Nerd.
My primary work is focused on delivering ocean and climate literacy programmes for secondary schools and providing support to ocean science and conservation organisations via MotherOceanBlue - Ocean Academy
This site is a little more personal. Here, you will find doodles, scribbles and artistic outpourings. Some of these pieces are connected with the ocean and some are little babies born of heart and head. Pesky little critters that just need to come out into the world! All my work is emotional and emotionally driven. Most pieces are for sale but some are too personal to sell and will stay with me.
I invite you to explore my artwork here. Please come visit often as new work will be added.
I’d love to hear from you so feel free to get in touch via the contact form.
Divemaster
I love the ocean so much and every now and then I like to make like a fish and immerse myself in the ocean realm, usually using scuba gear but always a snorkel and mask.
​
To do that safely means the use of specialist equipment that is, essentially, my life support system while I'm hanging out with fish and trying to fit in! They are not often fooled!
​
I felt it was important for my dive career to take my qualification to the highest level I could to fully understand my equipment and be fully aware of the risks and dangers involved in scuba. This knowledge helps to make me a better and safer diver for myself and anyone I dive with.
