Biography
I have always been driven to express a personal visual response to my local environment, people, places and objects through drawing, painting and printmaking, inspired by exploring colour, composition, materials and processes.
I make colourful linocut prints and paintings often depicting suburban scenes featuring dogs and their owners enjoying moments of exercise and connection.
My main goal as an artist is to produce artwork with a strong sense of place and movement and walking is the biggest influence on my work, I also enjoy reading about psychogeography, social realist graphic novels, and looking at wordless books.
