After gaining a degree in Fine Art at Staffordshire University, I worked in the printing industry as a graphic designer and printer. I went on to paint murals for private clients for several years. Currently, I am studying for my MA Fine Arts at York St John University.

In August 2009 I was selected for a month's artist's residency at the Vermont Studio Center, USA.

In 2008, together with two artist friends, Harrogate Printmakers was formed. 

My work can be viewed at Art Parade Gallery in Saltaire, W.Yorkshire, and on  Art Connections website.

My work tries to evoke the spirit of particular places. I am interested in natural features of landscapes, such as rock formations, and man-made changes to the land, such as ancient rock carvings. Abandoned objects hold a particular fascination, as do the traces, tracks and paths left by animals and people. 

Wildlife, especially birds, often finds its way into my work. Whilst celebrating the beauty of nature I am also concerned with the detrimental effects on species and landscape caused by human behaviour.
