I’m delighted to be with South Oxford Arts for Artweeks this year: I’ll be showing work in their Christmas Show on 22nd-23rd November 2024.

You can also see some of my work alongside that of other artists at Green Routes cafe, Magdalen Road.
I make drawings, paintings, prints and work in mixed media, using my own images as source material . Often photographing things that catch my eye or making quick observational drawings to get to know the subject, I hope to hold onto the essence of these images by working in an open-ended way; considering which materials and techniques will get me closer to the idea.
Recent themes concern moments in time; glimpses; transient things noticed on walks in local woodland, train or car journeys; shadows noticed and drawn.
Recently I have been working with one image on different surfaces, painting drawing and printmaking, in particular trying out ways to use screen printing techniques in a painterly way; working with the sometimes unexpected and chance discoveries to resolve the prints.
I received my Foundation Diploma from West Dean College of Arts and Conservation. I am a children’s tutor at Sunningwell School of Art where I hope to encourage the same freedom to explore and enjoy art making.
