Welcome! I am an award-winning poet and musician based in Warwickshire, UK.    

I have been a singer/songwriter with Satsangi for over 20 years. We have collaborated with and supported many artists and musicians, have been broadcast on radio (BBC) and TV (MTV), featured in magazines such as Rolling Stone and have travelled internationally to share our music. We are currently recording our 5th studio album Year of the Pig.

 

My poetry has been widely published in journals and magazines and I am the author of 3 poetry collections: Microscopia (Pindrop Press, 2025), Night Swan to Nigg (Cromarty Arts Trust, 2022) and The Glass Puddle (Vole, 2021). 

 

​​In Oct 2022 I was appointed as poet in residence at the University of Warwick, School of Life Sciences, where I have been helping to promote women in science. Work from this residency won the Gloucestershire Poetry Society competition, was shortlisted for the Aesthetica Creative Writing Award, highly commended for the Artemesia Arts Poetry Prize, received an honourable mention in the Dark Poets competition, longlisted for the Heroines Women's Writing Prize and has appeared in publications such as gorse and Shearsman. A poetry trail which showcases a selection of these poems is due to be permanently displayed across the university campus and beyond in 2026.

​

Originally trained in the visual arts, I hold a 1st class honours degree and MA in Fine Art from BCU. Alongside my creative projects I have a working background in holistic health. My life is supported by the practice and study of meditation in the Soto Zen tradition (Bristol sangha).
