Hello, I am what I call a ‘cradle creative’. I say this because I grew up and was ‘fed’ by the industry; with my professional actor parents operating an artistic heartbeat at the centre of our family life. Mum and Dad, seasoned actors Cherry Morris and Mike Murray, met at the Royal Shakespeare Company in the 1960s. The rest they say is history…..
I had a formative education mainly in the UK, Ireland (Connemara) and France (Paris) which taught me independence from early years. We lived away a lot, particularly in The Balearics, Spain. Travel commenced early. From starting out as a growing bouncing bump in my mum’s tum in Queensland, Australia - to hitch hiking, aged 4, back from Ibiza to UK ‘en famille’.
I am a returning actor since summer 2013. In my sabbatical time I fortunately went on some amazing adventures, worked at other wonderful things, and met extraordinary people.
All these experiences have ‘fuel-injected’ my creative and observational life, making acting the most incredible ‘live wire’ of a vocation as we faithfully seek to play-out the lives of ‘others’.
Other professional alternative career highlights include: nursing and caring, 3 years working in human rights and 7 years as an editor/journalist and communications manager in the defence industry. I am a French speaker having lived much in France, and am a lover of all things French.
