Artist information

I am currently adapting my art practice to work between the Isle of Wight and my studio in Oxfordshire. I have a partner, son and 2 dogs and like walking, books, puzzles and beachcombing.

In 2017 I formed Adumbration Arts, to help create spaces for artists and members of the public to make art. I set up Ayres House Studios in Wallingford in 2019, which provides myself and others with a wonderful place to work.

I like to advocate people creating works of their own and enjoy teaching as part if what I do. Over the years I have taught art in leisure, family learning, staff training and offender learning; working for The Manchester College, Milton Keynes college, Mind, Daler Rowney, Artsmart, BSUF and Bucks Adult learning.

I previously studied at Oxford Brookes University, Buckinghamshire Chilterns University College and Central Saint Martins.

On my Artweeks profile I share a little bit of everything in the hope of giving an overall impression of my practice as an artist. For any questions relating to my work please email me. Painting, portrait and pottery commissions taken.

Exhibition information

For Artweeks in May I will be opening up my studio, alongside many other artists from Ayres House Studios in Wallingford. I will continue working during that week on whatever I happen to be doing at the time, sharing my work, creative processes and studio paraphernalia.

I am principally a painter, however much or my creative process is multi diciplinary. My compositions are all processes of ‘looking to be still’ or ‘to distil’, whatever medium, form or subject I use, from painting, drawing, pottery, writing, sound recording or multi sensory installations and assembages. I often work between sybolic reprosentations and expressionism. In contrast to my other art practices, my pottery provides me with the opportunity to create funtional pottery pieces for everyday domestic use.

A selection of studio pieces, limited edition prints and pottery will be available to purchase from my studio, as well as through the Ayres House Studios gallery.
