I work heavily in oils and my work often approaches impasto style, depth and intensity. I favour palette knives and fingers to gain the required texture and depth. In a world saturated with prints I often smile to myself whilst working, catching a glimpse of finger marks in the thick luscious paint.

My work deals with space and atmosphere. I create illusionary three dimensional spaces within the confines of a two dimensional canvas. The paintings offer contrasts, in terms of what the viewer sees and feels. The work plays on the viewer and creates a struggle as to what they consider to be actual space. The audience is made to feel like they could step inside the void but at the same time they are repressed by an unknown aspect of the painting. Offering an organic contradiction throughout all aspects of the paintings makeup.

I attended initial art training ay Mansfield College of Art completing a Foundation Course before achieving my BA Honours Degree at DeMontfort University, Leicester where I specialised in Fine Art and Art History.
