My work is best described as "fluid". For me, to stand still is to become stagnant, and, since my work is both a reflection and an expression of my own feelings and state of being, it changes almost constantly in the same sense that a river does. Changing colours, form, shape, and rhythm, it is, in essence, always the same river.

My art is a space in which I find myself able to connect with myself and others on deeper emotional levels. The idea that we are “not alone” is a very important one to me, and it is always my hope that viewers will find this for themselves in my work.

Recent work has taken inspiration, in particular, from the artist Cy Twombly, from the neo-Expressionists and from the Chinese Scholar-Painters (11th-13th centuries). I trained at Hertfordshire University, the Turps school of art and, previously, read Social Anthropology at Cambridge University. My work is held in private collections in the UK and the USA. I am based in London.
