Dividing her time between London and Brittany, Patricia is a journalist and photographer specializing in French culture and history. She has written for French regional daily, Ouest-France and has been writing over many years for France and Living France magazines.
She also writes for a number of other publications including regular features for Church Building & Heritage Review and Best of British Magazine. Her work reflects her interest in Franco-British cross-cultural influences and shared history.
Having written for History Today on WWI heroine Louise de Bettignies, who spied for the British, she developed her research and took part in the documentary ‘The Spies Who Loved Folkestone’, an episode of the BBC series ‘World War I at Home’, featuring a section on de Bettignies.
In 2008 Patricia was dubbed a Chevalière de la Tour de Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, northern France, in recognition for her work on de Bettignies and artist Pierre Lorthioir, both natives of the town.
She can often be seen on the South Bank of the Thames with her camera recording street performers, skateboarders and life around the river.
