Drawing is at the heart of my creative practice. Observing my surroundings inspires me to notice ,absorb, and explore the world through both meditative and experimental mark making. I am driven by a love of observation and an experimental , playful approach to materials .

Drawing is at the core of everything I do. It is both my tool and my language, a constant exploration of how to interpret what I see. 

My motivation is not to replicate a scene. I  try to capture the essence of a place—the emotions, memories, and stories it evokes—and translate them into something that might resonate with others. 

Working in the heritage sector as an Artist Educator is a privilege. It allows me to collaborate, and share my passion for creativity and connect with communities and fellow artists. My own creative curiosity lends itself perfectly to teaching with a holistic approach and I have a deep interest in supporting others to find their own creativity and well-being .

Alongside my teaching roles, my current practice is focused on working and developing  my drawings into print.I am studying with Master Printmaker and Artist Mary Dalton, learning traditional printmaking techniques from intaglio to lithography, relief to hybrid with a contemporary, exploratory and ecological footprint.  This new direction is an exciting evolution—one that challenges me to interpret my observations through the process of carving and printing. It’s another step in my journey.
