Education
BA(Hons) Creative Writing
- Norwich, United Kingdom
During my time studying at Norwich University College of the Arts allowed me the freedom to explore many different writing disciplines and the relationship between words and visual languages.
Projects included comparative writing, storytelling, poetry, poetry as a narrative tool, scriptwriting for stage, scriptwriting for screen, photography and vignettes. During this period a strong underlying theme of magic realism was developed through literary-visual storytelling, exploring the blurred boundaries between reality and dream and what happens when the two overlap.
