My work has been described as “re-imagined childhood fairy stories, their dark side laid bare”. It is about my life, the lives of others, and sometimes the life of no one at all. I use images of the past, feelings of the present and dreams of the future to inspire me in my art.

My current preference is to work in a small format, using mainly mixed media that can include drawing, pen and ink, painting and collage.

I enjoy the graphics and texture of old books that I use as a base for my work, each individual paper having their own textures and even smells. The text may or may not give meaning to the finished piece. Some texts tell particular stories: others make a pattern for the overlaid image.
