Using acrylics and oil pastels on canvas whilst experimenting with textiles and found materials, i'm self-taught.

​

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.

​

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. 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.

​

As this process of a lifetime continues to develop, i'm increasingly drawn towards abstraction, opening up to new influences, new landscapes and how the natural world, human nature and civilisation contact, co-exist and clash.
