I work from my studio at the John Marley Centre in Newcastle across a range of media and materials.

My art is inspired by the natural world, folk tales and myths and legends. I like to play with the idea of ‘reality’, at times in a humorous and questioning way. I use drawing, painting, sculpture and photography to produce works that invite the viewer to be curious about the art before them.

Although graduating with a BA(Hons) in Fine Art from Sunderland my working life has been in the Community and Youth Work charity sector.

Since retiring I have taken part in numerous group and solo shows around the North East. In 2024 I set myself a challenge to produce a drawing each day - 366 drawings in total. The results of this project were exhibited at 1719 , Sunderland.

I am currently part of the 24NE Arts Collective.
