My practice is inspired by the research of wilderness and remote locations. This has led me to chronicle the acute concerns of climate change affecting communities and the plight, beauty and fragility of the natural world.

Following selection as 2019 Arctic artist in residence with Fo of the Scott Polar Research Institute I am working with Arctic inspired themes influencing a new body of work over the coming years.  in 2020 I am visiting Greenland and Iceland.  Visitors to my studio can see sketchbooks, paintings, ceramics, prints and artist’s cards.
