Born and raised on the edge of the Welsh valleys, I have always lived near the sea and this plays a huge part in the inspiration for my work.

​

I graduated as a set designer and have worked in the theatre and TV industry ever since. My work as a scenic artist and model maker for theatre and standby props and art director for television, has helped to broaden my skills and creative mind. I have noticed that every single stage or set I walk onto, the first place that my eyes are drawn to is the walls.

 

I am obsessed with creating colour combinations and textures and my eye for white space or 'negative space' determines how I lay colours on a page. 

​

My perception of artwork is that it is not just a finishing touch to a space, but it defines the personality of a room. 

 

I want to walk in to a space and to be able to portray everything you need to know about it, and the people who occupy it, with just one painting.

​

Every wall that exists is an empty page in my stamp book. I want to fill it with as many stamps as possible.
