Claire completed her BA (hons) Photography at Falmouth college Arts in 2003 during which time she concentrated on local landscape and the natural environment. Since graduating she has worked at Truro college teaching for 4 years and running the AS photography course. Her personal work explores alternative processes, traditional darkroom printing and lomography with the underlying theme of plants forms and found objects.
Since gaining a degree in photography I have continued to make and exhibit work. Having undertaken a Post Graduate Art Teacher Training course I have gained extensive experience in teaching at further and higher education levels. My association with Truro College has continued over a thirteen year period in both a full and part-time capacity; I have been responsible for the coordination of various photographic programs leading to my current appointment as course leader of the National Diploma in Photography and Digital Imaging and module leader on the Higher National Diploma Photography and Digital imaging course.
An extended period of formal research is essential at this stage of my career development. As a consequence I am about explore further the relationship between art, photography and technology towards gaining an M.A. Degree from Plymouth University.

Nick is an artist and lecturer. His work examines the space between the world that people inhabit and that which nature still claims as its own and in this intermediary space he seeks to explore the essence of the human spirit and its relationship with nature. Current research concerns eastern philosophy and aesthetics and their integration to aspects of universal symbolism. His work is exhibited on a national and international basis and is widely published.
