About me

Born 1989, Canterbury. Cardiff Metropolitan University: Illustration BA(Hons) University of South Wales; Fine Art. Erasmus at Faculdade de Belas-Artes da Universidade de Lisboa: Oil painting and geometry.  Parallel careers in Outdoor Education for ten years, full-time artist since 2017. 

I am a printmaker and illustrator specialising in linocut printmaking, I live in a coastal village on the Gower peninsula in Wales with my partner Christopher and our one year old, Rhedyn. The Gower is a diverse and inspiring landscape, with it's beaches, rolling countryside, and vibrant salt marshes that are home to wild ponies and many other wonderful creatures. This unique environment provides a rich tapestry of natural beauty that deeply influences my creative practice. I take particular inspiration from the local wildlife and surf culture that characterises the area, but I am especially drawn to the light and colour during the early morning sun at Caswell Bay. The purples of the heathers and the wildness of the ocean.

In my late twenties I discovered that I was autistic and decided to make some drastic changes in my life, I quit my career and moved to the coast to persue my life as an artist and live on the coast, surfing, climbing, running and making art.
