"Here is my breath to grow you, thank you for your breath to grow me"

My work explores our connection with our environment, our similarities either within our cell structure or metaphorically such as looking at the spiky outside of a horse chestnut and the smooth soft inner shell.
At heart I am a figurative artist and I think like many artists, I am trying to figure out what it is to be human but I am also drawn to our shared beginnings and our connecting history. My specialism is Clay but I also love to paint and make paper.

I am a Digswell Arts Trust Fellow, sharing a studio at the Fenners Building in Letchworth with sixteen other artists. We have a shared project space there where we hold both exhibitions and workshops, our latest exhibition called Timeline was funded by the Arts Council and the accompanying workshops were funded by NHDC and the Heritage Foundation.
