Meet the Act

I have been the luckiest. I have honed my talents, passions and hobbies as an artist, a lover of anything magic, circus, old fashioned fairgrounds and sideshows, classical music, especially Beethoven and Stravinsky, together with travelling the world into my work and my creations I offer out to the theatre and cruise ship market. I say lucky, because I have done this without restriction for so long and the creativity never falls. I have so many more stories to tell and create. For those who know me and will know me, join me for a cup of tea and a chat.
