About me

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 and our toddler. The Gower is a diverse and inspiring landscape, with it's beaches and countryside, and vibrant salt marshes that are home to wild ponies and many other wonderful creatures. This unique environment provides natural beauty that 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 heather and the wildness of the ocean.

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. 

In my late twenties I discovered that I was autistic and decided to make some changes in my life, I quit my career and moved to the coast to pursue my life as an artist and live on the coast, surfing, climbing, running and making art. Working as an artist allows me to manage the difficulties of my sensory disability and I feel very grateful.
