Artist's StatementI enjoy sittings with friends, to converse, draw, photograph and produce monoprint-paintings. These can have a theatrical feel, or be an intimate reverie in personal space.
I try to recall a treasured moment, as I make the image.
I took my MA with Distinction in The History and Context of Fine Art and Theatre, at Wimbledon School of Art.
I am working with Saffron Walden Arts Trust on its 50th anniversary, and Fairycroft House in Saffron Walden, to offer community arts exhibitions and performances with supporting workshops.
This year my Open Studio will feature 2D work around Face to Face encounters, in paint and print.
