Originally from London I moved to Bath in 1994 to do a Ceramics degree at Bath Spa University College. When completed I decided to stay in the South West and I eventually moved to Bristol at the end of 1999 and have been here ever since.

I started being a full time artist back in 2006, and at that time I was mainly painting figurative work. Which I enjoyed at the time but after a while I lost interest in it and got more into printmaking. I began with etching, then onto screen printing and then finally on to Lino printing.

It was several years ago that I had bit of a creative block and just decided to do a Lino print of one of my many plants and I haven't stopped creating botanical prints. You may have guessed but I absolutely love my plants. I have over 100 of them dotted about my flat and in my studio. Some might ask where I fit them all and I will always find space for more. In my opinion there is no such thing as too many plants

In 2011 I completed a MA in Multi-disciplinary Printmaking course at the University of the West of England. It was during this time that my confidence really grew. I met some lovely people, learnt a lot and took part in several group exhibitions.

During this time I began teaching classes in Lino printing. This was something I never thought I would ever do, but someone saw my potential and offered me regular classes at Spike Print Studio. I now teach regular lino printing classes and workshops at Bristol Folk House and film online tutorials which you can see over on my YouTube channel
