About

My approach to my art is underpinned by three main points of interest; living a healthy life, spirituality and a moral obligation to leave the planet a good place for our children.

The natural order of things, the cycles of life are my subject matter and I examine nature at the microscopic level, through the lens of personal experience. For inspiration I look back into history, investigating traditional materials and techniques that I can adapt to tell my story.

Being acutely aware of the health benefits of slow focused practice I immerse myself in processes that include the elements of time, repetition and pattern and tend to work intuitively letting the materials and process determine the form of the finished works.
