I am an ecological artist based near Stoke-on-Trent and the focus of my practice concerns people's connection with Nature in their everyday lives.
Recent practice has involved creating opportunities for people to engage with Nature through a number of garden projects:
- In Flight Diner - an avian intervention, commissioned by AirSpace Gallery, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent for their Bird Yarden
- How Does Your Garden Grow? - a conversation initiated with allotmenteers around Stoke-on-Trent about their relationship with Nature with resulted in an exhibition of photographs and a seed-planting workshop at The Potteries Museum and Art Gallery.
- Meantime Meadows - a guerrilla gardening project based on city demolition sites. Explored people's relationship with wildflowers and notions of the beauty and worth of 'weed' species.
- Memory Garden - a reminiscence and mapping project with the senior sitizens of Hanley Heritage Group using memories of gardens, plants and people, from whom they had become disconnected with, through the progression of age.
- Grow Your Own Garden Festival - a proposal for a Second Stoke-on-Trent garden Festival that explored making the city an ecological network by connecting gardens, waterways and green spaces.
- Last Post - a mail art swansong for the pillar box and a guerrilla garden project.
A qualified horticulturalist (BTEC HND in Landscape Design, RHS level 1 & 2 in Horticulture) I am often found up to my elbows in mud, be it on my organic-run allotment or whilst initiating art and horticulture in non-art spaces.

My work is derived from personal interests, such as archaeology, landscape, architecture, natural science, folklore and mythology. I use traditional, digital and alternative photographic processes to achieve the final results.
I sometimes use burning, abrasion, varnish and chemical distressing to enhance the artwork.
All my images are hand-printed, manipulated and toned to archival standards.
