​

Born and raised in Somerset, I have been painting my body and the landscape from a very young age. Painting remains my rock and my vital force. Alongside it, I work with photography, print, performance and ceramics, allowing these different ways of working to feed into and expand my painting practice.

​

My work moves between observing the landscape outdoors and working from memory, feeling and instinct in the studio. I am interested in how a place can enter the body, and how I can paint from that inner experience rather than simply record what I see.

I am drawn to places that hold memory and feeling, a twisted tree, a lone hawthorn, a hill fort, the edge of the water or an old spring. I want to capture what it feels like to be there.
