I live and work in Kent. I graduated from Norwich School of Art and then completed an Advanced Sculpture Course at St Martins College of Art in London.  After leaving St Martins I shared a studio with Katherine Gili and worked part time as her assistant. I spent many years working with Community Art projects in Lewisham and running workshops in the Tate Galleries, the British Museum and Museum of London. Whilst working in Tate Modern my design was used to create an Under 5s Children’s Area.

I have exhibited widely and recent exhibitions include The Royal West of England 170 Open Exhibition 2023 in Bristol and The Royal Cambrian Academy Open Exhibition 2022/3 in Conwy. I exhibit regularly with the FPS (The Free Painters and Sculptors) and ArtCan. This year have shown sculptures in the Flux Exhibition in London in July and a in The Himalayan Garden and Sculpture Park in Ripon, North Yorkshire. In October I exhibited works with ArtCan in The Department Store in Brixton.

I use mixed media with pulped recycled paper and sand to create a paper/stone composite. This can be shaped when wet or cut, filed or waxed when dry.

It is a long process and I like to balance this with experimental watercolours. In sculpture I look to encounters in the physical world and in painting I am interested in the macro concepts of space or the micro molecular world.
