I live and work in Caerphilly and spend much of my spare time in Pembrokeshire where the draw of the coast provides me with constant inspiration.
My background in Geology and photography has deepened my relationship with the landscape, from bitterly cold days mapping the rocks as a student, to hours spent walking the cliff path with my camera, my relationship with the landscape is always evolving and I'm interested in time in terms of layers, both in a literal and an abstract sense and these themes of land and deep time are recurrent throughout my practice. Walking and connecting with the landscape is an important part of my process, I am often drawn to where the land meets the sea as the epic scale of time is exposed in a unique way and is in constant flux. I have used many different processes to try and express visually these concepts of time and landscape including lino and woodcut, etching, mono printing, painting and photography.
