ABOUT

My work is rooted in a celebration of imagination and exploration and a search for understanding and belonging within an utterly absurd universe. I am interested in world-building, character creation, and storytelling—crafting spaces and personas that invite others to step into a narrative, often leaving room for their own interpretations. Whether through a simple monotype, a detailed, drawing or a sprawling installation, my work aims to blur the line between the absurd and the profound, playfully asking, "What is life really about?"

I make things up as I go along, embracing spontaneity and letting the work evolve organically. This approach lends itself to a sense of discovery—for both me and the audience. My fascination with absurdism often informs my practice, allowing me to explore life's contradictions with curiosity.

Living in the Lakes has a BIG influence on my work. I grew up messy and muddy, knee-deep in puddles, cataloging beasties, giving them names and fictional lifestyles, and spending far too long considering what their thoughts about being alive might be. I've maintained the habit of assigning personalities to things throughout my life; it remains my most favourite thing to do.

Working across diverse media, including digital art, sculpture, and traditional techniques like monoprinting, I enjoy experimenting with materials and styles to bring my ideas to life. Each piece becomes an artifact of a creative and questioning journey—a fragment of a larger story that connects deeply with my interest in the forever baffling human experience.

Ultimately, my work invites viewers to pause, ponder, and play, stepping into worlds that question the foundations of what it means to be human. I hope to spark a sense of curiosity, inspiring others to question, imagine, and explore their own narratives.

I've worked with some wonderful clients, exhibited and taught internationally. Here are some of my favourite projects (You may notice there's a bit of a gap between 2022 and 2024...I had decided to go and be 'sensible' for a while. It was crap, I don't recommend it. New work coming soon and my shop will also be returning in 2025!).
