Hi I'm The Art traveller. I'm a filmmaker, writer and art historian.
The Art Traveller is my blog, where I write about travelling the world and looking at art. I'm interested in how the environment and history of a place affect how we see art.
My work includes documentary film-making, short films and artists' video, often exploring historical events or places.
My interest in art history and film led me, in 2016 to write "Art History for Filmmakers" published by Bloomsbury Press, a book exploring how filmmakers can and do use paintings from the past to inspire and create visual story telling.
