A drawer based in Cheltenham, currently working in oil pastel on paper exploring the figure and natural forms. The current work plays with themes of human interaction, it’s necessary vulnerabilities and representation of thoughts, repeatedly through the interference of nature. Drawn from owned photographs or modified found imagery; often rather than a portrait, figures and their interaction with their surroundings mean to convey a feeling or idea. The different series represented here explore different themes. One looks at the idea of the inside of our minds, aiming to express how we interact with our own anxieties and countervailing feelings of constraint and support, overwhelm and creation. The other is a connection to contemporary ballet, not the traditional or the perfect, but the human and primal need to move, deeply inspired by Pina Bausch’s ballet. Winner of the Drawing Award at the inaugural Cass Art Prize in 2024. Recipient of the Anthony J Lester Art Critic Award at the Pastel Society Annual Exhibition 2025. Winner of the 2025 Jackson's Art Pastel Prize
