I work primarily in painting and drawing, in acrylic on canvas and mixed media on paper. Recently my work focuses on fantastically surreal and vibrant landscapes and figures, stemming from my interest in nature, popular culture, science fiction and the environment.

I was born in Middlesbrough and now live in Leeds, working from my studio at Sunny Bank Mills. My practice also involves curating and film photography.

I studied BA (Hons) Graphic Arts and Design at Leeds Metropolitan University and MA Curation Practices at Leeds Arts University, and I did the Foundation Course at Cleveland College of Art.
