I am a contemporary mixed media artist who thrives on experimenting with diverse materials, techniques and processes.

In 1991 I graduated from Winchester School of Art with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art – Sculpture. In 1997 I trained as an Art Therapist. Since graduating I have worked as a Scenic Artist, Prop Maker and Artist in Residence and has worked with a range of different client groups.

My creative process is a spontaneous, inquisitive and fluid one which often incorporates a range of unconventional materials which are new to me. The unfamiliarity of various mixed media creates an unpredictability often resulting in happy accidents and surprises which give my creations a life force of their own.

I don’t take my work too seriously and always allow myself time to play. Since last summer’s Open Studios I fancied a change of direction. I began playing with paint on canvas and seeing what emerged. I found that creatures began to come to life in the paintings I have begun creating these creatures from recycled metal and painting them.
