Concepts
The themes that emerge from my work are a love of the world, people and landscape contrasted with a concern about their possible progress. To contrast hard-edged short-term ideas and structures with the ebb and flow of long-term human values.
Influences
Printmaking, etching, painting, landscape, Piranesi, Rome, Apocalypse, colour, surface, architecture, Sarah Kane, Thomas Bernhard.
Career path
I studied painting and printmaking at Saint Martin's School of Art and the Royal Academy Schools of Art. I have been awarded a year-long Italian Government Scholarship and also the Prix de Rome in Printmaking. I have had a residency at Radley College, Oxfordshire. I produce occasional works to commission, most recently three etchings for the Cancer Research UK Institute for Cancer Studies in Birmingham.
