Find out more about me
I’m a multidisciplinary visual artist working from my little studio on a farm in rural Nottinghamshire where I have the space to breathe, ponder and create
Artist Statement
My practice is concerned with how I might create ‘moments of sanctuary’ that put the audience at the centre of the work. This is driven by a desire to create a space, whether physically, mentally, or digitally, that offers time for momentary pause or reflection.
Background & Experience
I have a broad experience across the creative industries. After a background in the environmental and education sectors I transitioned to working in graphic and web design before pursuing education as a visual artist.
Relationship to materials
I am a materials person; I need to sense something about an object or substance that is more than we can physically see. Each part of an object creating something so unique that I can’t help but wonder what it means or what it can tell us.

About my Process
Materials are the catalyst to my art practice, creating connections and leaps of faith that allow me to transform them into something ethereal and full of possibility. This journey enables me to investigate materials through processes that are simultaneously flexible and constrained and feature in all my work.

Creating Interactions
The materials I use and my process all lead me towards creating conversations about what my work represents and what those viewing my work see. Each interaction creates an input that deepens my understanding and therefore how I can make new work that does the same for others.
