A little more about me...

I am a multidisciplinary artist weaving history and folklore into personal narratives using sculpture, drawing and printmaking. The rural meets the magical in a space between worlds, signifying the importance of the surreal as a source of inspiration.

Anchored in the liminal; I reach under, over, behind and through for that space in-between. Supernatural architecture, metamorphic creatures and strange lands are thin places, where the veil is lowered and things may move freely between worlds. My work is powered by the unknown, not looking to find reason but to further question unexplained happenings through recurring imagery and symbols.
