I love drawing and making visual stories combining colour and drawing to make pictures that are direct but contain layers of meaning.My work is allegorical and contains sentiments about contemporary living. I extract images and ideas from a variety of sources including the Southwest landscape, figures, music, dance, comics, poetry and fairy stories. I am fascinated by the way people stand and gather together to celebrate whether on the beach, at a festival or sports event creating patterns and energy as they move around. The sight of which influences the tone of my work.
I studied at Sunderland and the Royal College of Art. I have had many solo shows in the Southwest and am last year’s winner of the Plough Arts Centre Open Drawing Competition.
