I was born and brought up in Barnard Castle, Co.Durham and educated at Falmouth School of Art.
A sense of place has always been an important aspect of my engagement with the landscape. Much of my work in the past has relied on travelling to remote areas in New Mexico, Wyoming and more recently trekking in Nepal.
Engaging with the Artist-Teacher M.A. at Liverpool John Moores University in 2005 enabled me to embrace a number of themes and issues relating to the land. My work is involved with the power of nature and the elemental forces found within the landscape.
I am a painter working predominately in watercolours and oil paint, although I hope in the future to return to print-making.

My practice draws its inspiration from the relationship mankind has with the environment and the complete systems that we depend on. Current practice has taken me on an investigation of A Matter of Life and Death; using garden environs as test beds, I am exploring the complex systems and life cycles that occur in nature and that we as a species depend on. This has taken me into experiments with permaculture, sustainability and seed saving.
With a background in landscape design, I am also interested in how mapping and recording our environment contributes to our attitude to the environment around us. I am specifically interested in artists’ gardens as metaphors for environmental issues and the boundaries between art and horticultural worlds, with a view to exploring sensual engagement both in the act of creating and experiencing gardens.

I am a visual artist living and working in the North west of England . I currently work as a Senior Printmaking Technician and co-leader of Artlab Contemporary Print Studios at the University of Central Lancashire. My continued research into alternative acrylic based printmaking has led me to undertake research with The Bluecoat in Liverpool as well as initiating several collaborative exhibitions and research projects between other International printmaking studios.
In 2010 I completed a residency at The Centre of Contemporary Art in Preston and the resulting works were shown over a 4 week period. The Installation works from this residency were shown in the Liverpool Biennial at the Wolstenholme Creative Space, during the long night of the Museums.
During April 2011 I took part in the International residency programme at Pyramid Atlantic, Washington DC, the resulting works will be shown in Washington DC in December 2011.

After always having a love of making crafts I started working in silver over seven years ago. Being largely self taught I have developed my skills over that time to create beautiful pieces of jewellery in silver and in gold. I sell my work in galleries, shops, through my online shop and at designer-maker craft fairs.
Because of my love of this craft I teach jewellery making workshops to extend this craft to others. I have workshops mainly at The Potters Barn, Sandbach, Cheshire, but also at various other locations in the Northwest, South England and East Yorkshire.
I have extended my craft to include not only sales and running workshops but also to include carrying out jewellery repairs and one to one tuition. I also take commissions and welcome couples who wish to make their own wedding rings!
