The driving force

Born and bred in Kent, I studied Fine Art at Canterbury Christ Church University where I specialized in sculpture. But over the years since graduation, kiln fused glass work and painting have also become ever more important to my practice.

My paintings hover between memory and invention, where shifting horizons and fluid mark-making suggest movement, atmosphere and emotional terrain rather than fixed geography. Working across materials, I explore the dynamic tension between spontaneity and control: paint is layered then disrupted, sculptural forms are balanced at the edge of stillness and motion, molten glass is guided yet allowed to flow. Throughout my work, material and emotion remain in dialogue. Each piece becomes a negotiation between intention and accident, structure and freedom — an invitation into a space shaped by imagination as much as matter.

 Oscillating between figurative and abstract, and using whichever materials I feel best suited to articulate sometimes complex ideas, I follow connecting threads, weaving between real and imaginary worlds.
