My personal art practice incorporates a wide variety of fine-art mediums; from drawing and photography to painting and mixed-media collage work. I also work with printmaking and exploring my own vision of fashion and the experience of appreciation of movement and dance. I have a natural talent for seeing and drawing deriving passion of capturing the figure. I work with the figure and experimental self-portraiture through drawing, photography and prints revealing a strong emotive and expressive ability in this visual communication with themes of identity, reflection and truth and illusion within the relationship between figure and location. I also draw and work with other dancers and models and produce fashion illustration artworks and drawings.

I continuously research past and contemporary artists, art history, photographic practitioners and artistic genres etc. I have an appreciation for architecture and social history and am interested in the role and cultural perception of history of cultural roots and identity within human behaviour. I also work in consideration of the impact past changes and technologies have on the way we live today, which continually informs and feeds into my visual practice.

I currently teach art within the community and have set-up my own independent classes alongside teaching at Truro college; this involves teaching, figurative drawing, painting and print-making to adults. I also regularly work with children running workshops and after school art clubs, I spent two years working for Newlyn Art Gallery running their program of Kids Art sessions. I have a gift in working with people particularly through one-to one teaching in allowing for the creative needs in others to be released and expressed through art.

I aim and strive to promote my visual artwork through exhibitions, commissions and publications. Living in Cornwall has also enabled a close appreciation of nature and a stunning environment and allowed for interesting and eye-opening insights and connections with many creative and artistic people.
