WHAT INSPIRES YOU? 
I see in the natural world a beauty that is sacred. Going so as far as to consider the wild the ‘Common Cathedral’. Because of this my art often takes inspiration form many of the great religious works throughout history. I draw especially upon the work of Byzantine and Gothic iconography. 

The use of gold and metal leaf is an integral motif within my work. Gold has not only been a symbol of divinity and spirituality ancient civilisation, but also has the singular ability to alter the quality of light within and without a painting. This glow cast upon and around the viewer creates a unique relationship between audience and artwork.

Native conservation, re-wilding and environmental awareness play a huge role in my subject matter. Form depicting threatened and endangered animals to working on up-cycled wooden panels; environmental concerns are always at the fore of my vision. Aiming to inspire and foster conversations around safeguarding our natural world. 

At the core of my work is the wish to explore the joy of natural forms; to share my reverence of and connection to natural world, and to remind my audience of the astounding beauty we must cherish and protect for its wonder to abound.
