Born and raised in the Cotswolds, this area of outstanding natural beauty has been the life-long inspiration for my work. I graduated from Exeter College of Art & Design with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art. I work mainly in oils and traditional printmaking techniques, including linocut, dry point, and screen print. British wildlife, farm animals and the abundant flora of the hedgerows are a constant source of inspiration, as well as figurative subjects. I aim to reflect my personal admiration and respect for living things, by creating artworks which capture a sense of their vital spark. I strive to elevate the subject from the ordinary or every day. I love what I do and hope some of the joy I experience is shared with others when they view my work.
