My Practice is concerned with the past, the human condition and the invisible. I am interested in history, politics, culture and celebrity and how this all feeds into the fabric of history.

Born in Wales, Uk.

My work is about disrupting, questioning, listening.

The materials I use are taken from popular culture, history and individual life experiences.

Who determines what we learn from our past?

My artistic career began with finding a voice, which was my own.

I went to art school in Swansea, Wales UK, when the dominance of social media was in its infancy, the influencer was seen on our TV screens, not on individual devices, dominating the intimacy of our bedrooms, homes, everywhere places.

The darkrooms were my temple, I spent every waking minute in them infused and inspired by Cindy Sherman, Larry Clarke, Mullholland drive, American Beauty and many, many many more, artists, makers, musicians.

I am fascinated by the pioneers of society whether that is the icons from history or the individual with the loudest voice standing up for the person dismissed, not cared for, forgotten or just a number.

Each piece of work I have made is individual and embellishes a visual commentary that poses questions. They are unique, raw, real.

But primary they are about finding a voice, and that is the power of art.
