Biography

Currently researching and developing ideas on shadows, light and fleeting moments using graphite, with some work incorporating acrylic paint and ink. I enjoy taking a concept and carrying it across into other materials when an idea allows. Chance and balance play a big part in how the work develops …

Live and work in London.

Artist’s Statement
6 April 2022

I start from a place of ‘What if? I wonder? And a big don’t know’. Things grow or unravel depending on the starting point and all of it is felt. What comes out onto the paper or canvas is a record of a moment, of time, both internal and external and each touch of the pencil or brush echoes back and forth to form the whole. The things that are constant, sometimes without me realising, are shadow and light often attached to fleeting moments and observations of the abstract in the world around me. 

The Paint-Draw series attempts a visual two way conversation between painting and drawing through the process of following in the footsteps of artists such as Brice Marden, Juan Uslé, Bridget Riley, Seurat and Clem Crosby, amongst others. I am playing with positive and negative, depth and surface and watching how my attempts to follow their steps evolve or disintegrate into my own handwriting.
