Elected to RCA 2000
Born North Wales, 1970. Lives in Bethesda, Gwynedd. Studied at Falmouth School of Art & Design and Cyprus College of Art, Paphos.
“I live and work in Bethesda and concentrate on the area which immediately surrounds my house and studio. I seek to reflect the sense of an everyday human presence in the landscape in which I work. “My work is very much based in drawing and seeks to explore the structure and permanence of the land as well as its beauty. Elements such as light and the way one reads a particular landscape in terms of ones field of vision (both horizontally and vertically) are becoming increasingly important concerns.”
