 "My Art practice has taken me on many varied paths. In the early stages, I was fascinated by the tactile nature of fibre, thread and textiles.
This led into large Sculptural commissions, 3D works and installations, using varied materials from woven stainless steel to perspex and industrial felt.
These works often dealt with landscape and the human connection to place and identity. Thread as a metaphor of connection and belonging plays a large role in most of my art works. I see society woven together, each thread separate but belonging to a whole.
I have recently returned to the North Coast after four busy years away undertaking an Honours Degree in Fine Arts at Newcastle University, I am currently painting again, Inspired by the magnificent forests of our region."
