BIOGRAPHY
Born among the wild cliffs and tempestuous seas of west Cornwall, I grew with the intimate details in the twisting lanes and the intense changing light throughout the turbulent seasons. Like the wind sculpted hawthorns and sensual coves of weather worn granite, I have been shaped by this ancient raw environment. I formed a deep, instinctual sense of being part of the natural narrative, and wherever in the world I may be, this connectivity underpins my practice.

STATEMENT
Finding beauty in the imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete, I explore the flux and balance of interdependent relationships: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; between wild raw energy and serene stillness; chaos and harmony; flourishing life and peaceful dormancy; the enduring and the effervescent.
Through photography, painting, poetry and drawing, I illuminate sublime subtleties and transient layers in the flow between shifting seasons; in human narratives tangled among wild landscapes; in the blurred boundaries between restless seas and stoic stones; where the solidity of the soil meets the freedom of the air; where temporariness is the only constant.
