I create subtle, contemplative artworks that honour impermanence and the aesthetic of wabi-sabi, using recycled materials and low-fi printmaking techniques. Drawing inspiration from overlooked spaces and untold stories, my practice reflects emotional landscapes and the concept of containment. My work creates a window of quiet contemplation removed from the stress of daily life.

Drawing and printmaking are central to my practice. They offer space to explore curiosity, emotion, and the stories held in everyday and overlooked places. Working from my dining table in the quiet moments between teaching and family life, I’ve developed a responsive, low-tech approach using recycled materials and simple tools. These processes allow me to work intuitively and sustainably, often in short bursts.

I’m especially drawn to derelict buildings and forgotten spaces. These structures feel like emotional landscapes — quiet, fragile, and full of presence. They mirror internal states of memory, containment, and resilience. Through layering, mark-making, and repetition, I reimagine these places, inviting others to pause and reflect.

The Japanese concept of wabi-sabi — finding beauty in imperfection and transience — runs through my work. Whether I’m capturing the mundane or the mysterious, I aim to create prints and drawings that feel like gentle invitations to look again, to notice what’s usually missed, and to uncover new stories in familiar spaces.

I’m also interested in collaborating with others through dialogue and postal exchange — slow, tactile forms of connection that offer space for reflection and solitude. These shared moments, whether through conversation or creative prompts sent by post, create opportunities to pause, respond, and connect beyond the noise of everyday life. They echo the quiet presence found in the buildings I explore and the emotional landscapes they represent.
