I am an artist maker living and working in Denbighshire, North Wales.
My work is inspired by the complexity of life, particularly the intricate structures and growth patterns found in nature. I am drawn to cryptogamic plants such as lichen, moss, and algae, as well as fungi, and the textures and forms of marine creatures, invertebrates, and coral.

I am influenced by how being in nature—and observing it closely—makes me feel. Light is another important inspiration: both the magical atmosphere it creates in the natural landscape, and the way it interacts with glass through shadows, reflections, and the contrast between matt and glossy surfaces.

I am also fascinated by the cataloguing of nature—natural history artefacts, early cyanotypes, x-rays, microscopic images, and botanical drawings all inform my visual language.

I often explore ideas of magical realism, creating hybrid forms inspired by, or combining, different plants and organisms.

I make vessels, sculpture, architectural and public art, and exhibit in galleries internationally.
