Biography

My desire is to create fresh and energetic drawings of the natural world through direct and immediate mark making. Both sensitive and visceral, I want my drawings to capture fleeting moments and experiences in nature. I mostly work outside, focussing on the things that capture my attention within the landscape and the wildlife that inhabits it. I believe that spending time in the outdoors refreshes and energises us and its the memory of that which I want to stir within the viewer.
