From a very young age, I have always had a deep interest with creative expression. As an undergraduate, at John Moores University and Wirral Met College, I studied and practised fine art. Subsequently, discovering a love of mosaics, applied arts and craft as a creative graduate. In 2006 I established my career as an artist-educator. In 2020, I completed a master’s in art, festivals, and cultural management. Thus, consolidating the theories that I learnt; with my own, unique experiences and art practice.

My Background
I use many different mediums, such as mosaic, glass, clay, smalti, ceramics or stone. When possible, I try to source local suppliers or materials and aim to make work that is increasingly mindful of factors such as sustainability.

Consequently, saving hundreds of items each year from going to landfill.

On a daily basis, I find myself in awe of nature, and try to remember this precious gift of life. I enjoy hiking in my spare time and much of my artwork is made as a direct response to the natural landscape. My work often explores intersections of anthropology and the multiplicity of the natural world. I have undertaken many research projects and artist residencies in Germany, Scotland, China and New Zealand. I love to travel, visit new places and have a keen interest in outdoor spaces, activity and wellbeing.
