I live and work near the river in Richmond upon Thames. The riverside and nearby Richmond Park provide a rich source of inspiration for my work. I also find the history of the area hugely inspirational. Other sources of inspiration come from my travels, in particular the desert landscapes of New Mexico and California.

I think it’s important for an artist to continuously experiment and try different techniques. In following this through, I found a way that I can bring together the different methods and mediums that I enjoy using. I find working with a mix of media particularly exciting as I can combine all of the elements that I enjoy into one artwork – painting, photography and digital photo manipulation.

My recent work includes both figurative and abstract painting, inspired mostly by aspects of London life, the proximity of the natural and the built environment and elements of art history. I work with either oils or acrylics depending on the effect I want to create.

I draw on a wide variety of sources which can include my background as a stage designer, love of nature, art history, music, memories, my own photographs and sketch books and my interest in colour theory.
