Biography

I am an animation director, printmaker and sculptor living and working in East Sussex.

My style is graphic and reductive. I am inspired by the film, tv and music of the 1960's and work with the bold graphics and vibrant colours synonymous with this era.

Since graduating from the Royal College of Art in 2000, my commercial animation projects have largely been created digitally. Over time, I began to miss the tactile experience of making art. This has driven me in recent years to produce a body of work including linocuts, sculptures and screenprints.

My work explores the craft and beauty in everyday objects, uncelebrated people and places. Whether it be in the deconstruction of a piece of coastal industrial machinery, or in celebration of the sculpture of a plastic toy soldier, attention to detail and the quality of finish are always key to my work.
