Using acrylics on canvas whilst experimenting with textiles, found materials and new paint technologies, i'm self-taught.

​

My recent work (Earth series) is focused on aspects of landscape, especially places characterised by ancient habitation, pathways and the evolution of both human and natural features such as moorland. These allow for reflection on legacy and change, boundaries and the breaking of them, and have featured in my awareness since i was very young.

​

The concept of "otherness"- of how we relate to others and the world around us - in all its increasing complexity, is central to my work. I began to paint when i found words were no longer sufficient to approach the internal/external flux and as this process of a lifetime continues to develop, i'm increasingly drawn towards abstraction.
