Back to profiles

I am a mixed-media artist based on the Powys–Shropshire border. My practice explores expanded painting through portraiture, informed by landscape and material encounter, and developed through direct, process-led making. I completed a BA (Hons) Fine Art at Wrexham University in 2025 and am currently studying for an MA in Painting.

I am a mixed-media artist working through expanded painting, currently focused on portraiture. My practice is rooted in process and material encounter, with work developing through direct, sustained making rather than fixed outcomes. I am currently producing large-scale head portraits by stitching together painted canvases, using fragmentation and reassembly as part of the image-making. Alongside this, I continue to develop garden-based paintings in a more raw and immediate form, foregrounding brushwork, colour, and the physical application of paint. Across my practice, textiles, found materials, and photography are integrated as extensions of painting, often shaped through working in outdoor environments and in response to landscape.
