Since 2001 my practice has been a continual investigation of balance & structure, within both the built and the natural environment. In 2015 I left a teaching position, committing to my artistic practise.

In 2017 was awarded a public sculpture commission by Leeds City Council in partnership with East Street Arts sparking an ongoing interest in sculpture.

I started a new body of work titled ‘Grace’ in September 2019 which is of great personal significance and helped to re-ground my practice in a sculptural exploration of the symbolic relationship between architectural, industrial and bodily transfiguration.

My work has continued to develop throughout the pandemic resulting in some interesting explorations of concept, media and scale. I consider this period as a valuable & meaningful period of development which has allowed me creative freedom to investigate fundamental questions surrounding my practise. In 2021 I was awarded a significant grant from the Arts Council to take risks, innovate my practise & connect with broader networks & audiences. This timely opportunity has been a significant step-change in my career, enriching & invigorating my creative practice, propelling it in a new & exciting direction.
