My work develops in distinct series but commonalities exist around a sense of ‘place’; whether found in woodlands, valleys or hills, former industrial sites, abandoned buildings, temporary shelters or even from a story. Discoveries arrive through physical encounters, found images or lines in a book and it is these initial meeting points, both real and imagined, that spark the creative process.
I use charcoal, graphite, oil or watercolour, but drawing is key within my practice. I enjoy the immediacy of it, the way it absorbs me and the physical connections made when using different media on a variety of surfaces.
