ways been central to my practice, and over time this has included working with acrylic paint skins.
Memory, place, nature and lived experience run through my work. Reimagined memories, particular places and everyday moments find their way into my paintings and drawings. Wales and Italy have also shaped my sense of landscape, atmosphere and belonging.
I often work in sequences, developing groups of paintings and drawings over time, with each work informing the next. Repetition, variation and return allow ideas to emerge and shift, while the behaviour of materials can take the work somewhere I had not anticipated.
My practice began in creative textiles decades ago and gradually segued into fine art, eventually leading to an MA with Winchester School of Art in Barcelona. A Pollock-Krasner Foundation award was an early turning point, enabling me to establish my first independent studio.

Process
Process is central to my practice, but it varies from one work to another. Some projects begin with careful planning, while others develop more intuitively, often from a simple question: What if?
I don't plan too rigidly when I paint. I work through sustained attention and response, allowing paint, colour, gesture and materials to influence what happens next. The work develops through a continual exchange between intention, chance and discovery.
The finished work retains something of this process, the decisions, changes and unexpected turns that have shaped it
