I am a Sheffield based artist. My work has several areas of investigation: landscape, seascape, human form and an historical based research. It is based on strong mark making often incorporating text whether legible or not. I work across painting, drawing, photography.
Read full bio
I paint places where I have an emotional connection. They provide a location where I can explore ideas from personal history to classical references to the process of painting itself. I am interested in exploring the relationship between evidence and meaning: the construction of facts.
Ultimately my work attempts to be strong, visual and aesthetic in quality.
