I am a 49 year-old artist with dual British and Irish citizenship, educated at Oxford University – BA(Hons) English- and London University – BSc(Hons) Psychology. More recently I trained at the Royal College of Art in London, where I received a scholarship.

This autumn I have been working on an artist residency in Barcelona, exploring my ‘City fix’ series. Between January and March 2025 I will be on an artist residency in Berlin, based at GlogauAIR.

I work across print-making, drawing and painting and am interested in expressive potency and authenticity, seeking to explore the full range of human experience – and my history – through the visceral suggestiveness of my work: from the epiphanic joy of a reconfigured garden, to the intensity of city life, with all its pleasures, pains, and aids to addiction. I’m exploring the ways in which colour, composition and mark-making can be most effectively used to convey the intensity of experience.
