Ephemeral materials and simple motifs are brought together to explore the abstract traces of life; to project the vulnerability of love, precariousness of life and inevitability of death which embody the complex and uncertain nature of simply being human.

I aim to keep my drawings as understated as possible and try to suggest a larger narrative by pairing the primal and elemental qualities of ordinary shapes with my fascination for used paper and the dirt, stains and markings they accumulate over time. I use these as a communicator for much bigger messages based on my musings around my barely tangible and sometimes overwhelming thoughts. For example, unfathomable nature of reality, an intimate moment which exists for just a second and is then forgotten or the impossibility of feeling how someone else feels; the list is endless...

My studio is located in the village of Gillingham on the Norfolk/Suffolk border, close to the market town of Beccles. The studio is open year round by appointment and visitors are always welcome to come and browse original drawings and prints. Please email for more details.

During the 2012 Norfolk & Norwich Festival I will be taking part in the open studios event. The studio will be open to the public 11am-5pm on:
Saturday 26th & Sunday 27th May
Saturday 2nd, Sunday 3rd & Bank Holiday Monday 4th June
Saturday 9th & Sunday 10th June

Drop me a line for details, visit the NNOS website or pick up a brochure from many locations around the county later in the year.
