Arts Council Funded Artist
SNEEZE Project

Drawing is a broad term and my work encompasses a wide umbrella of disciplines including life drawing, botanical drawing, use of the diagram as an art form and even film. To approach this through science, knowledge and research creates artistic responses that excite and stimulate the mind.
I have a Master’s Degree in Fine Art, a BA(Hons) Fine Art and a teaching qualification which also enables me to plan and deliver exciting workshops that foster traditional drawing skills with observation of the real.
I am interested in nurturing those who enjoy art to be curious, to have a wider understanding of traditional and contemporary art which feeds into their own practice.
Recent scientific research into plant intelligence is a field that has captured my imagination.
Are plants intelligent? Scientists are discovering that uncanny levels of intelligence exist within the plant world that we could never perceive in our everyday lives and it seems the root is the most intelligent, sensitive part of a plant. I am fascinated with plants, especially their anatomies, their root systems and processes. Charles Darwin suggested that root systems worked together like a network of brains and now modern research is confirming this.
