“Personally, creativity helps me to better understand my relationship with myself, with others and this amazing gift of a world we should all be taking much more care of. On some occasions, it can be my worse enemy.”
I have been creating work for over 25 years, shoehorning my outputs and experimentations in between life, parenting and my design and advertising career.
Although I was aware of my artistic leanings from a very early age, my creative path was very much set after completing a BA in Graphic Design in London, in 1986.
I have always drawn inspiration from the discrepancies we can often find in our modern world, which between 2005 to 2020, was channelled into photographic projects – using digital, analogue and self-made pinhole cameras. This cumulated in my participation in London’s PhotoMonth in 2012 and 2013, and a collaborative month-long exhibition in 2014 with Platform-7 in the heart of the financial district of London.
Since 2020, my interest in painting and drawing has come back to the fore.
In terms of subject matter, I am always looking for the flipside of our perceived reality, whether that’s challenging the views offered by the existing societal apparatus, questioning our role and responsibility as guardians of the natural world or, challenging common perceptions and understanding of aesthetics, value and ethics. Within all that exploration, I believe I get to know myself more and have a better sense of my own identity.
When my last child flew the next, I resettled in Devon in 2025 and I am now fully dedicated to developing my art practice, with the same enquiring mindset I have had since becoming conscious in this world.
Life is a constant journey. I have far too many ideas to give life too, as well as a lot of angst and rage about where this world is heading!
