I am a visual artist based in Cornwall. In its broadest sense, my work is about the living landscape and our relationship with it. My most recent work incorporates items collected on walks across the fields or by the sea - a practice that emerged during the first lockdown. I am interested the customs, routines, stories and mythologies surrounding our relationship with the land and the elements. I use a range of media which include assemblage, found objects, painting, photography, video, and installation. Along with developing my own explorations, I work collaboratively with other artists, including writers and musicians.
I have participated in selected group exhibitions, film festivals and residencies across the country and am an Associate of the GroundWork Network, which is based in Kings Lynn, Norfolk.
I am currently Chair of the Newlyn Society of Artists(NSA). Founded in 1896, 'the NSA is a diverse group of approximately 90 professional contemporary Cornish artists'. The NSA shows regularly at Tremenheere Sculpture Gardens Penzance.
Our spring show Eye of the Lens opens on Friday 27th March and runs until Sunday April 19th 2026. We're very pleased to welcome the film critic Mark Kermode as our guest curator for this show. There is no set theme - Mark has asked members to submit their current work. It will be intersting to see if a theme emerges. All are welcome to the opening party on Saturday March 28th 2.00 - 4.30 pm at the gallery, Tremenheere. Mark will be at the Artist Talks on Sunday 19th April 2.00 - 3.30
