I grew up in North Wales, a place that first sparked my wonder for the natural world. I’ve always been drawn to expansive, wild spaces, especially the coast; to the edge. These landscapes feel both calming and alive, inviting reflection and connection, and they continue to influence the way I create today.
It was also in North Wales that a lifelong passion for horses began, an emotional and symbolic presence that often finds its way into my work.
I studied at Chelsea School of Art (BA Hons in Public Art), followed by a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art at Central Saint Martins/Byam Shaw, both now part of the University of the Arts London. These experiences helped shape my interest in the emotional and sensory layers of place — how sound, imagery, language and memory can move us.
I’m especially drawn to moments that resonate deeply in the psyche, what the Japanese call yūgen: a subtle, profound sensation that hints at the intangible. These fleeting yet powerful impressions linger in the unconscious, pressing on memory and perception, and form a constant thread throughout my work.
I explore ideas through a range of materials and processes - often working in the abstract, sometimes with poignancy, sometimes with playfulness. I’m influenced by colour field painting, brutalist architecture, Basque sculpture, and the organic forms of Jean Arp and Phyllida Barlow, to name a few. For me, each of these visual languages holds an emotional charge.
Since moving to Liverpool in 2019, I’ve been based at Make North Docks, a vibrant community of artists and makers. I’m currently working on a series of sculptures and moving forward, I'm keen to revisit earlier ideas around immersive, sensory experiences by introducing soundscapes and kinetic elements.
Alongside my studio practice, I draw on years of experience in London’s creative industries to freelance as a set decoration artist for TV drama productions, creating bespoke paintings, graphics, artworks and props.
