I am a self-taught artist dedicated to pushing the boundaries of subject and materials, with a relentless drive to create the unexpected. My work serves as a counterpoint to the digital age, embracing the solidity and tangibility of sculpture. Utilising acrylics, collage, paper, and a diverse array of materials, my artwork is characterized by its vibrant colours, texture, and tactile quality. My process is complex, and so each piece is unique. I am always exploring techniques and looking for new materials to use for my work.
I want my art to be affordable, so I create art in a range of sizes and mediums. I also offer affordable unique prints textured with gold, silver or black tube lining. My canvas prints are textured and embellished using acrylic mediums so each one is tactile and individual.
My creative process is heavily influenced by my travels to California, Scandinavia, and Iceland, as well as my virtual explorations of Mars and Brazil. Photography plays a crucial role in my work, enabling me to capture new perspectives on the ordinary and uncover the unexpected.
I exhibit regularly in Surrey and you can see a large selection of my work in my online store
