My work is inspired by research in Philosophy and the Human Sciences often involving collaborations with experts in these fields to produce works that span from painting, video and sculpture through to public engagement activities.

My recent practice has focused on a single material and allowed this to dictate the direction of the work. This material is Soil. This has involved making paints from local muds and plant matters and using these to depict landscapes and the features in them, creating soil based photographs and working with a range of soil related industries and specialists.

This results in a multi-layered practice informed and actively developing my understanding of pertinent contemporary issues such as Ecological concerns, identity, Industrial Heritage, the role of Fine Art in Higher Education and New Materialist philosophy.

I hold an MA distinction in Fine Art from Swansea Met, along with a BSc in Human Sciences from University College London, where I focused on evolutionary theory. I have had works purchased by private and public collectors, including Paintings in Hospitals. My work has been recognised by both The Bath Royal Society of Artists and the Welsh Artist of the Year (winner of the student category in 2010). I was also cover artist for Artist Newsletter magazine (April 2012) and selected by AXIS as one of the top five graduating MA students from Wales (2011 and 2012). In addition, I have been awarded an Arts Council of Wales grant (2013) and run workshops with Cardiff University Biosciences department, the Princes’ Trust and Cardiff Met.

Outside of this I use my skills to provide services to others. This includes arts workshops, decorating, murals, working in prisons and hospitals.
