I am a UK based contemporary artist working from my studio in East Sussex near Tunbridge Wells. I have a BA (Hons) Degree (1st Class) in Fine Art from the University of the West of England, Bristol.

My paintings explore how our identity is shaped by the spaces we occupy and pass through. I question our perception of the reality surrounding us by juxtaposing traditional imagery with the unexpected. 

I am drawn to powerful images, such as vast skies, which draw our attention and emanate natural forces.  Reflecting our romantic passions, elevating and diminishing us, helping me to explore the narrative and symbolism of our place in this infinite vastness.  

Where figures occupy spaces in my paintings, I explore their relationship to their surroundings. I am fascinated by whether humanity belongs in its environment or is a stranger in it.  I question the implicit presumption that humanity is of the world, in which we have placed ourselves at its centre, the only beings that can appreciate beauty and give the world meaning. Rather than acknowledging that we play out a seemingly insignificant and meaningless play against the backdrop of a dramatic and infinite emptiness.  My paintings contrast the world as we can know it against the world as it is. And sometimes, the world without us.
