Welcome

Walking around the allotment is central to my creative process. I’m drawn to the almost hidden community tucked away within the city — patches of wild growth, a mix of cultivated areas, full of veg and flowers and partially overgrown plots, some with ramshackle sheds; plot holders demonstrating a make do and mend attitude with ‘Heath Robinson’ type drainage systems and fences. I observe how these places are used, forgotten, or transformed, and how they reflect broader environmental cycles. The resilience of weeds, the constant rhythmic cycle of new life and decay, nature’s patterns, textures and colours — these are what I’m interested in recording. 

I'm a multi-disciplinary artist working from my studio in Plymouth, Devon. My practice is rooted in printmaking, where I explore a range of processes: I work across collagraph, monoprint, and etching, often combining these with digital techniques, mixed media and hand stitching. Drawing from my sketchbooks and photographs, I create laser-cut printing plates  from my own imagery, blending traditional and modern processes to produce richly layered, hand-pulled prints. I often reuse ‘waste’ prints to create artists’ books, sculptural forms, and 3D experiments.
