I grew up in the North West of England and many of my earliest memories are tied to the landscapes there. I now find inspiration in the wild hedgerows, moving tree canopies and marshes near my home on the Thames Estuary.

Glimmers of landscapes, shadows cast on a patio, and ambiguous plant forms are all recurring motifs within my work. These places and vignettes hold hidden beauty and stories that I capture in my art, encouraging you to pause and uncover what lies beneath the surface.

Unearthing layers of meaning.

​

My creative process is deeply intuitive and experimental. I work with layers of paint, collage, and wax, blending these materials with vintage papers and fragments from my mother’s old dress patterns. Through this process of building up layers and uncovering hidden details, my goal is to create depth, texture and atmosphere. Each piece invites viewers to engage not just with what’s on the surface, but to discover what lies beneath.

Weathered surfaces and the passage of time.

​

The layers in my work are often sanded back or scratched through, creating tactile surfaces that remind me of weathered forms shaped by time. This method evokes the feeling of something that has been touched by the elements, a sense of the past woven into the present. It’s an exploration of how time and nature leave their marks on the world and on my art.
