My practice is led by materials and process. Each work begins as a response to the environment, asking how art might reframe our ways of looking and deepen our awareness of the places we inhabit as they shift through history and under the pressures of climate change causing displacement and migration.

My pieces emerge through direct encounters with the landscape. I often work with what I can gather—wood, mud, reeds, stones—allowing these materials to act as both medium and mark. Each drawing or sculpture becomes a physical exchange: a record of presence, attention, and response.

The act of making is repetitive, ritualistic, and meditative. It forms a cycle that folds time back on itself, reminding us of an earlier way of being—one more closely connected with the rhythms of nature. In this slow dialogue with place, the work becomes less about representation and more an invitation to pause, to sense more deeply, and to enter the circular rhythms that shape both land and self.

Over the past twenty-plus years I have exhibited extensively including UK, Europe and USA and completed private commissions. My work has also appeared in publications and is held in Public Collections.

I studied Fine Art Sculpture and Textiles in London and Nottingham and was visiting lecturer at Norwich University of the Arts and University of Suffolk Whilst part time teaching 2000 - 2014 I initiated oversea study trips and led student residencies to Finland.

I have also initiated funding proposals and led numerous workshops and projects within schools and community groups and was Community Arts Coordinator for First Light Festival 2019 - 2023.
