About me
I am passionate about creativity: It’s fuelled everything I've done in my career and life to date.
I've spent 15 years in the creative industries: blending Design, Business and Futures, whilst building my portfolio as a professional artist.
The golden thread running through my art practice is connection - with each other and the natural world. I explore the tensions between our raw, natural instincts, culture and the conflicting societal expectations that guide and shape us.
My work draws on my interest and experience in futures, emerging human behaviours, emotion, empathy, nature, wilderness, systems and science and technology. Participatory process and collaboration is increasingly something I am incorporating into my practice.
The result is a broad-ranging art practice that blends hand-crafted pieces, including sculpture, painting and drawing with digital pieces including projections, audio and sound recordings, film and animation.
Professional activities:
My experience as both an art practitioner and a business consultant means I understand the wider creative and contextual factors influencing artists, designers and business people, and the trends and forces impacting the changing world around us.
