ARTIST'S STATEMENT

Influenced by the lives of those around me, my work is a reflection on the journeys, choices and struggles, seen and unseen in everyday life. There are few constants. Fluctuations both physical and metaphorical pattern my work.

After graduating form Nottingham Trent University with a BA Honours in Theatre Design I worked as a Scenic Artist and Product Designer. Drawing on the professional skills I acquired throughout this time, I endeavour to produce work which reflects my quiet contemplation of life. Engaging the audience in a calm and reflective viewer experience.
