I am a UK based fine artist working mainly with photography.

Since postgraduate study, I have divided my time between personal practice and art and design education (teaching and curriculum leadership) in Manchester, where I was born and in Sussex, where I now live. With a background and first degree in painting, an interest in making photographs has developed over time: initially supporting work with other media and subsequently as outcomes in their own right.

A preoccupation with interpreting the found mark has spanned a number of years. More recent work focuses largely on interrogating and exploring ordinary and often overlooked surfaces in natural, domestic and urban environments. Residues of human and other activity are areas of particular interest, suggesting all kinds of narratives and stimulating broad lines of enquiry. Whether metaphorical or literal, these investigations open up new, personal ways of deciphering and engaging with landscape.

Two confluent fascinations form essential and enduring elements of my work: Firstly, atmospheric and formal considerations; Secondly, the power of the trace, the fragment and the unresolved to provoke the imagination in unexpected ways.
