PRACTICE
From my studio in Torquay, South Devon, I produce limited edition lino and mezzotint prints, and detailed works in pencil and charcoal.
I trained as a graphic designer and illustrator, and worked as a commercial artist for many years before focusing on my fine art practice, which I have been engaged with since 2019.
I have been fortunate to have had a number of solo exhibitions, as well as having my work selected to show at a variety of juried exhibitions, and I was recently made a Member of the South West Academy of Applied and Fine Arts.
I am interested in subjects that lead beneath our normal level of awareness and consciousness - subjects that capture moments of change and transition - subjects that provoke a sense of the weird, wild, mysterious and uncanny - subjects that have the potential to enable insight into what it is to be human in a too-human world.
My sources include the moorlands and coastlines of Devon and Cornwall, the random movement of dancers across dance floors, the flight of crows through imagined forests, the shapeshifting qualities of water and stone, and the half-forgotten artifacts and folk tales that haunt the landscapes that surround me.
