IN The Studio

My practice is rooted in painting but unfolds through a collision of media - traditional oils, spray paint, screen printing, collage, drawing, handwriting and graphic iconography.

With formal training in printed textiles and multimedia and a career in visual design, I approach the canvas like a surface to be built, manipulated and layered. Repeating patterns, diagrams, grids, textures and fragments of visual culture operate like fabric, signage or stagecraft, woven together into dense, constructed images.

My studio is also where I live, a quaint and quiet medieval barn, just outside Brighton on the south coast of England.
