Details
My work focuses and aims to describe the rural environment with a specific interest in surface, light, shade and colour. I enjoy experimenting with different mediums and have in more recent years taken up lino cutting, looking primarily at British wildlife. This is a much more controlled and thoughtful process, which is a great juxtaposition to my paintings.
I have created a career as an artist after studying fine arts at Falmouth. For me it was fundamental to carry on with my creative journey and I am so grateful to be able to create artwork each day as my full time job.
I am a painter and printmaker specialising in the linocut process and semi abstract oil painting of landscapes.
I hold many linocutting workshops throughout the year at locations across Herefordshire and a few beyond.
