I am an early career artist, having graduated from Leeds Arts University 2021 with a first class BA degree in fine art. I am thrilled to share my work in exhibition and exhilarated when I sell a piece of work. I hope to study for my Masters in Fine Art (MAFA) 2024.

I graduated with a BA in fine art from Leeds Arts University in 2021, specialising in sculpture.

Previous to this I studied at Leeds College of Art and took a particular interest in dark room photography and print.

My practice is multi faceted, I don't fit into one box......I like to paint, play with mud, sculpt and take photographs.

I am curious about processes, styles, colours and form, and the impact of environmental concerns.

My current work is both ceramic and textile based, I have been weaving for 4 years and have my own vintage table loom.

I share a pottery studio in the Calder Valley, drawn to hand building with have a particular interest in contemporary art.
