Artist information
I have always had an interest in Art, coming to it more seriously after a long career in the NHS, after which I decided to pursue my creative interests.
Enrolling at Malvern School of Art for their Fine Art and Contemporary Craft degree programme, I then went on to study Fine Art at Hereford College of Art where I was lucky enough to be given the Sidney Nolan Trust Award on graduation and a residency at The Rodd in 2021. I then returned to Hereford for my MA in Fine Art at the end of that same year.
My Fine Art practice is predominantly concerned with the narrative of inter-human relationships, sometimes informed by my NHS or personal experiences. Much of this work is 3D.
The illustrative side of my work is quite different and created in a more instinctive way. Made purely because it’s what I love to do! Created in what has become known to family and friends as the Midnight Studio…a twilight world where the imagination has free reign long into the night creating miniature Shrines and fantastical creatures that take flight from brushes and papers. A joyful process of creation that gives me and hopefully others great pleasure.
