Born and raised in the North London Edgelands, an early fascination with the English Romantic poets and artists shaped these landscapes into realms of almost religious significance.
Employing materials and symbols found in these spaces I aim to create a space for the viewer to project upon, reflect within and create a personal cosmology.
Through repetition and distortions in context words and images are allowed room to be re investigated and re invested with personal meanings from each individual interpretation.
Primarily a painter, I have been researching and experimenting with walking and land art.
All works can be viewed in my Folkestone studio and please feel free to contact me with any questions you may have or if you require any further information.
