I am nearing what be considered an old hand in my current career having been working for nearly a quarter of a century. I see the next level of my career as being a way of exploring how to give back to the world in an enjoyable and engaged way, to support people in their artist endeavours and to help to facilitate the acceptance of nuanced conversations and elasticity of thought.

The UAE is the new home of globalisation and has within its boarders a rich and ever growing number of people from different backgrounds who have exciting and different perspectives and I would love to become a member of 1833 to meet people who have interesting thoughts and ideas, if possible, to help others in their expression of their ideas, their art, their culture, to help foster a community of caring people who respect and accept and encourage and engage.

My creative interests are more as a suppoprt of the arts than a generator of them. I am a keen art collector and supporter of artists and their practices particularly emerging artists with distinct world views. A lover of the performing arts I enjoy going to the theatre and to concerts of all varieties. I also enjoy going to the cinema and read novels.
