A little bit about me…

Living and working in Alston, an area of outstanding natural beauty in Cumbria, I am influenced by the beauty and majesty of the landscape that surrounds me.  My work aims to explore the relationship between people and nature and how we can work together in harmony to make the world a better place! 

Below are a sample of exhibitions and experiences I have over the last few years as well as my art education. Please get in touch if you wish to know more.
