I am inspired by the natural world and the transient state of nature, the sense of surface and its richness and depth. I deal with elements connecting movement and change in the place we live and I look at the parallels between what we see around us and try to convey a response.

 

I work with the surface making decisions through line, texture, mark-making and colour drawing through the picture space the image transforms and develops. 

 

I am not entirely sure of the outcome. I think this is what holds my attention the combination of uncertainties and certainties...a continuous process of altered states.

​

My art journey is forever shifting and evolving. The older you get the earlier you go back. You draw on your past it creeps into the work.

 

After a decade in graphic design and illustration, I returned to study completing my BA(Hons) in History of Art followed by a Post-graduate Certificate in Education at Goldsmiths, University of London.

 

A twelve year career as an art teacher to Key Stage 4 & 5 led me to further study. I completed a MA in Printmaking at Camberwell College of Art in 2012.

 

Painting and printmaking have been my main focus until I recently discovered clay. I have spent the last few years working with this versatile medium combining both paint and clay.
