Observing the world.
Exploring ideas.
Telling stories.
I am an artist and illustrator based in Northumberland, working across drawing, illustration, visual storytelling and public art.
My work begins with curiosity - an observation, a place, a story or simply something that captures my imagination.
Through drawing, research and creative exploration, I transform these starting points into artworks that invite people to look more closely and discover something new.
My practice moves between the intimate and the monumental - from sketchbooks, illustrated publications and personal investigations to large-scale sculptural artworks designed for public spaces.
Although the scale, subject and materials may change, my interest remains the same: exploring ideas and finding ways to communicate them visually.
Everything begins with looking.
Public Art: Artworks and installations for public spaces, exploring stories, character and identity of places and communities.
Illustration & Drawing: Observational drawing, illustration and visual experimentation, where ideas take shape.
Chapbooks & Visual Stories: Illustrated publications that bring together drawings, words, observations and storytelling.
Ideas & Explorations: Creative investigations, concepts and works in progress - an insight into how ideas develop.
Observations & Journals: Sketchbooks, observations and personal reflections on the details of everyday life.
