I am an art and architectural historian, originally from the National Gallery in London. I have now lived and worked for over 30 years in the University city of Cambridge and the town of Newmarket, researching and delivering a great variety of courses to locals and visitors alike. Art is my passion that continues to feed my own learning, which I love to share with likeminded people. I aim to entertain and educate but above all communicate my own sense of wonder and joy in the world around us. The redemptive power of creativity has never been more vital and desirable in our lives than it is today ! Cambridge is a highly stimulating, vibrant city, historically a shrine to intellect with its colleges but also its scientific and business innovation that has a world wide reputation. It offers an ever changing cultural landscape with many museums and landmark exhibitions and shows which make it a privilege to be a part of. Its location by the river Cam with its boating and the many green open spaces are much used and loved, offering relaxation in a more rural environment that provides a balance to the faster, exciting urban centre. I like to write in my spare time and enjoy dancing to Jazz and seeing local bands perform live. I have lived and worked abroad, teaching English. Nowadays, my go-to place for relaxation is the Norfolk coast, seal watching or strolling along the cliffs. I am most definitely a people person who motivates and engages, enjoying sharing my knowledge and experience with others. I have organised many short and extended trips around England and abroad for adult students to visit sights of artistic and historical interest over the last 20 years. As a lecturer in museums as well as a tour guide to historic buildings, I can customise tours suited to your specific interests if desired, aiming to make them highly memorable. I have a B.A. in the History of Art with French. T.E.F.L. P.G.C.E. in Art & Design and Art education I am not a licensed guide but have acquired extensive experience and knowledge over the years
