​

I am a landscape artist based in West Sussex. I recently graduated from the University of Chichester with a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art and completed an MFA at West Dean College in July, 2026.  

 

My style is  gestural and spontaneous with loose strokes creating a sense of movement and atmosphere. I am interested in the interplay of light and shadow and exaggerate the fleeting shapes that are stamped on the landscape marking the passing of time. My works are my personal response to my surroundings, not in grand places but in the every-day as part of a process of quiet noticing. I work in charcoal, acrylics and oil on linen, birch board and handmade papers.
