Bio:

I’m a multi-disciplinary artist based in Devon, UK. Originally from Wiltshire, I relocated to Devon in 2021 after a long and rewarding career in secondary education. I completed an MA in Printmaking (passed with Distinction) at Arts University Plymouth (2018–2020), where I developed a practice that blends traditional printmaking techniques with digital processes, often informed by my own photographs and drawings. I work from a spacious home studio, where I enjoy experimenting and playing with materials and methods. My work is process-led and explores themes of nature, transience, and overlooked urban wildness.

In addition to my art practice, I work part-time as a Specialist Mentor (SM-ASC) and Study Skills Tutor (SS-ASC), supporting neurodiverse students at Arts University Plymouth and the University of Plymouth—a role I find both fulfilling and worthwhile.

I’m a member of the CAMP PrintKin group, A-N and Visual Arts South West (VASW) and I’ve just joined the Devonport Guildhall Print Studio (Real Ideas) as a member.
