About

My early life was spent in East Anglia under giant skies and endless beaches. In the 1990s I studied Painting at Chelsea College of Art in London and since then I have exhibited at galleries in London, Manchester and West Sussex.  I now live and work in West Sussex, with its rolling chalk downs and ancient footpaths.

My current work is about a tension between visually and mentally processing the world around me and recording the feeling of otherness I experience in the natural landscape.

As I walk, I think about my dog sensing a world invisible to me and of people over the ages interpreting their world through folklore and spirituality. Walking alone brings me a sense of correlation between my solitude and the cautionary message in folktales but also immerses me in the wild beauty at the edges of our tamed landscape.
