About Me

Hi! I'm a creative artist living in rural Wales.
My work reflects my fascination with the theme of personal transition: how each of us integrate our experiences into our lives and how this changes the way we view ourselves, others and life in general.
As a visual artist I work with oil, acrylic, watercolour, printmaking, collage, mixed-media and more recently, ceramics and textiles; I've exhibited both locally and nationally and have work in private collections. These days I work mainly to commission.
I'm also a self taught musician - still very much on the learning curve!!
I believe that imagery, poetry and above all music provide us with a vital bridge by which to cross over from mundane existence into our parallel emotional plane and spend nourishing time there, and that just as we are multi-faceted beings with a myriad of different things to say, so we should be free in our creative lives to express this, unconfined by the current strictures of genre-obsessed, market-based commercialism.
