With a lifelong passion for photography and being the middle of three generations of film photographers, I always feel extremely proud that photography and creativity are firmly embedded in my DNA. My upbringing in film, piles of negatives, a red box brownie camera and the smell of the darkroom are responsible for my deep, continued interest in shooting film and traditional printing and exploring historic processes. Time in the darkroom is hugely important to me.I call it my Zen Den. Here is where my best ideas are formed. I work with my Medium and Large format cameras.

Photography Fine Art Graphic Design

I was born a creative soul and to my fuel vision, quality time spent at the Manchester School of Art and University of Gloucestershire studying the three disciplines of Art, Design and Photography, culminating with degree in Graphic Design and an MA in Fine Art and papers written on Colour Psychology – all of which continue to feed and directly influence my work today as a full time Visual Artist. My love of collage and expressionist art started during my Graphic Design studies I’ve been making Cyanotype prints since the 1990’s and started silver printing 15 years before that. .

ARTIST”S STATEMENT

My art explores the connection of Expressionist Art, Nature and Wellbeing

through analogue photography, abstract art, collage and my work with colour psychology.

Inspired by textures, shapes and seasonal colours, it has a quiet sensibility and a sense of uplifting positivity..
