At the core of my art practice is a desire to create, and to make connections with the viewer. 

​

My creative practice is a dual exploration of the natural world, balancing the texture of coastal landscapes with the graphic rhythm of nature-inspired linoprints. Whether painting or carving, my focus remains on capturing the atmosphere, light, and fleeting moments found in coastal Devon where I live.

My textured semi abstract paintings often explore the raw, untamed essence of the coast. I use a variety of materials, palette knifes, found materials and mixed media to build tactile surfaces, aiming to translate the crashing sea, the crumbling cliffs, or the quiet presence of a moment in time into an emotive experience. These pieces are not direct representations, but rather memories of place—focusing on colour, texture, and the way light can transform a scene.

My linoprints are drawn from a quieter, more detailed observation of nature, seasons, flowers and coastal walks. Using a slower, deliberate process, which begins as sketchbook drawing, I create linocuts that draw attention to the structured, repeating patterns of nature—the intricate detail of a leaf, the seasonal transition in a garden, or the graphic forms of botanical studies.

I find these two approaches complement each other;  painting provides an outlet for energy, emotion, and abstraction, while printmaking offers a focus on precision, line and form. Both, however, are deeply connected by my love for the natural world and a desire to bring its quiet beauty and emotion into the interior space through artwork.
