I was brought up in Wiltshire and mainly lived in London, before settling in a small village just south of Bath. We built a studio in our back garden where I have been making, printing and painting ever since. My mother and grandmother were both artists and I feel as if I have been instilled with making all my life and know that I deeply benefitted from the fact, that art and making were always seen as a valuable part of life.

I am mainly self-taught and am constantly growing my artistic and creative self. Whilst working with wire and screen-printing are my principal practices, I also paint, print with Lino and more.
I love looking out of the studio each day and seeing the ever changing shapes and colours of our garden, as plants grow and fade, and seasons change.

I am at my happiest when amidst beautiful things, whether its nature, architecture, interiors or artwork. My visual surroundings make a great impact on me. And with that in mind I think I try and give a bit of that to others with what I make. I hope to transfer the beauty of what I see, through the prints, paintings and wirework I create, into other people's homes. And whilst doing that, I really like to use the finest materials in quality, and ethical/environmental production and impact, so as to leave as small a mark on this Earth as possible.

I am often in my studio, so if you wanted to pop in, or pick up an order, just give me a ring and we can arrange a time.
