About the Artist
London Born Digital Fine Artist Shaped by Surface and Light
I grew up in London, a city of shifting weather, worn surfaces, and quiet architectural rhythms. Its streets and edges shaped the way I see, teaching me to notice colour, texture, and the subtle tensions held within a surface. That early visual training still guides my work, forming a practice that moves between instinct and refinement, where digital tools meet the traditions that shaped my fine art foundations.
My practice grows from decades of making, informed by my BA and MA in Fine Art from Bretton Hall College, University of Leeds. Years spent exploring aquatint etching, experimental mark making, sculptural forms, and light‑based works established a sensitivity to surface, structure, and atmosphere. I gather small visual moments that catch my attention and allow them to develop into layered digital artworks. This approach merges traditional fine art techniques with contemporary digital methods, creating abstract work rooted in place, memory, and close looking.
