This site is a showcase for some of the projects I've been involved with over the years. Having studied Fine Art at art school, (my dissertation, entitled 'An exposition of Marcel Duchamp's Large Glass', was awarded a commendation), I drifted into graphic design almost by chance. I specialise in photographic retouching and creating complex composite images - known as photoshop, for short. And over the years, I have also involved myself in web design and web publishing.

My interest in history dates back to my college years when my fascination with German Expressiont painters encouraged me to study Weimar Germany which then led me on to study the rise of Hitler. And then I read a memoir of an Auschwitz survivor and the horrors of the place went beyond anything I ever thought possible. After 25 years of researching the Holocaust, I had enough material to write a comprehensive history of Auschwitz.

As for the Shakespeare Authorship Question, this too has been a great passion of mine for over twenty years, ever since I read the Oxfordian 'bible', 'The Mystery of William Shakespeare' by Charlton Ogburn. My most recent, indeed ongoing, project attempts, through archive research, to shed some light on Edward de Vere's second wife, Elizabeth Trentham and her family. The first part of my short history of the Trenthams was published by the De Vere Society - and is now published on this site. The second part will be published in early 2007.
