Writing
As I writer I specialise in creating lyrics and libretti for contemporary classical music. I trained as an opera singer at conservatoire, where I also studied composition. Most of my libretti and lyrics are published by Ricordi, having been written for the composer Dai Fujikura. I also have a poetry pamphlet published by Knives Forks and Spoons Press. Much of the work shown below can be purchased on this site. All of the illustrations on this page are made by @dailywallpaperpatterns whose work you can find on Instagram.
