Collagist, Painter and Ceramicist

I use collage and mixed media techniques to  create surreal, dream-like images.. Some of them have been described as “Quite bonkers!”. Lately, I have been enjoying the art of letting go—trusting the process, following instinct, and seeing where the unexpected leads.

I also make humorous ceramic sculptures, often based on the famous and infamous.

I exhibit regularly in exhibitions local to Lincolnshire. Further afield my art has been selected for the ING Discerning Eye, John Ruskin Prize, Wells Art Contemporary, SAA Artists of the Year and VAA International Online.
