I am a British artist living in Torrevieja, a city situated on Spain’s South East Mediterranean coast. My environment is what inspires my art – the colours, materials, landscape, sounds, the people and their culture.

My practice explores identity, place and the relationships we have with each other and our surroundings. I use visual methods to research and express the complex and reciprocal interplay between the landscape, historic and contemporary culture, and how groups operate within this context.

I want to understand what makes us feel a sense of belonging; what characteristics of a place, culture or group make us feel an affinity towards it. With this insight I am using my practice as a vehicle to celebrate diversity, tolerance and inclusion within my community. Making my art accessible to a diverse demographic is therefore a key element of my practice, alongside audience participation and feedback to feed into my research inform the future direction of my work.
