My interest in time, memory and the environment informs much of my work. I explore meaning through the combined use of different media, bringing them together to create a complex discussion. I continually experiment with the qualities each medium possesses to bear down on the essence of what I want to convey. I also teach print, drawing and painting, both on-line and in-person and am a Print Associate at the Art Academy, London. I started an MA in Print at the Royal College of Art, London, in September 2024, and will graduate in August 2025 (have had to defer the final third due to a fractured knee).
I am regularly involved in exhibitions within the UK. My work is held in private collections in the UK and abroad.
