Welcome.  Paintings are on a separate page. The list stuff is here.

I am an artist based in South Northamptonshire, England. I work primarily through painting and drawing, and occasionally create installations. My work is rooted in abstraction, though I often incorporate representational elements, blending the two to explore connections between memory, place, nature and lived experience. I draw on the varied influences that shape my life, including reimagined memories, material investigations, and the quiet moments of everyday life. Connections to Wales and Italy also inform my thinking, particularly around landscape, atmosphere and belonging.

A characteristic of my practice is working in sequences, where the behaviour of materials becomes part of the unfolding process itself. Rather than approaching works as isolated pieces, I often develop groups of paintings and drawings that evolve over time, with each work informing the next. Through repetition, variation and return, ideas gradually emerge and shift, allowing relationships between image, gesture, colour and memory to develop across a body of work.

Each piece is the result of sustained attention to materials, light, colour and gesture. Some works respond to the rhythms and textures of particular places, while others capture the passage of time or the unfolding of experience. Humour, often subtle, threads through my practice, bringing moments of reflection and lightness into the work.

My journey into fine art grew from an earlier practice as a creative textile artist. Over time, and somewhat unexpectedly, this led me to study fine art at university, culminating in an MA with Winchester School of Art in Barcelona. A New York Pollock-Krasner Foundation award, an early turning point in my career, enabled me to set up my first independent studio and develop my practice with confidence.

Each work stands on its own, carrying its own presence and voice. I welcome those who wish to explore further and offer insights into my thinking, which may enrich the experience of the work. On this website, images are presented simply, allowing space to look first. Additional context is available for those who wish to learn more, and I am always happy to share thoughts about individual pieces where I can.
