My work begins with the landscape. I’m drawn to nature—its patterns, light, and atmosphere—and I often abstract these elements to see where they might lead. Recently, I’ve been exploring the experimental side of printmaking, embracing the unexpected marks and quiet surprises that arise through its processes.

With dyslexia undiagnosed throughout my early years, academic work was difficult and art became my refuge. After leaving art school and working in architecture, I returned to university at forty to study Fine Art. There, receiving a long-overdue diagnosis clarified years of challenge and enabled me to progress, ultimately completing both my honours degree and my MA.

I grew up in 1970s East London, a concrete landscape that felt far removed from the natural world. The rare trips we took to my parents’ rural homeland in Ireland were transformative. Each visit filled me with awe at the space, light, and beauty around me. That sense of wonder has stayed with me, and it is this emotional memory of landscape that continues to shape and inspire my work today.
