About

I work primarily in drawing and print, using charcoal and print-based processes to explore attention, atmosphere, and marks made over time.

The drawings often begin with a field of tone worked across the surface of the paper. From within this field, forms slowly begin to gather — figures, buildings, animals or fragments of landscape appearing briefly before dissolving again.

My work is shaped by sustained engagement with coastal and inland landscapes in North Wales — places marked by erosion, weather, and the residue of human activity. Working from particular sites, I resist familiar depiction and favour partial views and substitutions, allowing a place to be felt rather than fully disclosed.

My practice is rooted in process. I understand drawing as a bodily act — one that unfolds through touch, pressure, and repetition — and my work frequently carries the residue of its own making. Marks are built up, erased, and revisited, allowing images to arrive gradually and remain open.

Alongside visual work, I maintain an active writing practice. This parallel engagement with language informs the rhythms and structures of my drawings. Across media, I am concerned with what can be held — if only briefly — through acts of attention, particularly in places where human presence is felt through its absence.

I live and work in North Wales.

Practice

I am interested in how things come into view and disappear: how they emerge, shift, and become other over time and under sustained attention.  Drawing and printmaking allow me to stay with that movement — not fixing it, but tracing its passage.

My work begins in watching and waiting — attending to the moment when forms begin to gather.

I return repeatedly to particular places — coastal edges, churches, abandonments — reworking the surface of the seen and allowing forms to gather and recede.  Images often remain partially obscured, rather than being pursued towards resolution.

What remains is less a depiction than a record of encounter: something that has appeared and is still in the process of becoming.
