Welcome to my website
Over a number of years I have established a studio practice in which I use everyday, domestic materials to make ambiguous, psychological landscapes. I don’t digitally manipulate the images, which are still mostly shot on medium format, analogue film. I also make works from the landscape itself, which are entitled Uncertain States. 

Working in photographic & mixed media paintings I’m interested in the shift of perspective found between microcosm and macrocosm, the near and far. I often use close up techniques that use scale to invite considerations around distance, commitment and desire. These are quieter, inclusive works that invite emotional involvement, asking us to engage perhaps with something happening in front of us in the images in the here-and-now. The work is informed by my parallel psychology career where I work with assessments that measure risk and resilience in attachment relationships through naming of emotions and a spatial proximity to those who can help us under stress. ​

Recent Works 
In November and December 2017 I started 'Mountains of the Mind', a new, smaller scale,  series mixed media landscape paintings on gesso on board.  They were shown at the CrE8 art fair and below shows a sample of the works that sold. 

Past Shows & Involvements
In 2016 I showed a mixed media painting in S I X T Y at LUBOMIROV / ANGUS-HUGHES curated by Anna Bleeker and Alessandra Falbo. I also exhibited with artists Fiona Fouhy and Marcia Teusink in the exhibition INTERTIDAL, as part of the Whitstable Biennale Satellite programme. Other past involvements  include showing at Flowers Gallery, London Art Fair, Photo Los Angeles, Herefordshire Photography Festival, Sarah Mysercough Fine Art and a solo show at the Midlands Art Centre (mac).  Previous residencies include the Florence Trust Studio Residency and 'Rural Idyll' on a sheep farm in Suffolk. My work was shortlisted for the Espy Photographic Award (2014) and the inaugural Adrian Henri Poetry in Art Award (2013).
