I am a north-east England multi media artist who searches for symmetry, form and patterns in my surroundings. I take great pleasure in capturing how I see beauty in the mundane, largely through black and white photography. My creative practice is constantly evolving with the images I take, informing and steering my current work into a new found direction of wire sculpture and installation art.

I carry my phone and camera everywhere to endeavouring to capture and document what I see on my day to day adventures. Looking through the lens at the journey to many unlikely locations, festival fields to a derelict RAF base. At the heart of my practice is the deep seated respect I hold for my family and its varied history.

Multi media is a very comfortable apron for me to wear as I could be screen printing one day and sculpting out of clay or wire the next. I have a new found understanding of the relationship between my feelings and values and what I am creating. It has given clarity to an apparent narrative, with words landing in my head for my current work…
