Artist
I make art to celebrate something beautiful, make sense of what’s painful, and generally to understand the world.
I create paintings, prints, collage – and a lot of drawings.

Story powered
Stories entertain, educate, persuade and inspire. I write stories, tell them, and help others do the same.
I’ve been a journalist and published five books in 16 languages. My next is about public speaking and presenting.
In it, I draw on my training in improvisational theatre.
My finest hour
“Very good. Very funny… In fact, it made me laugh”
