# About me

Fine Art Graduate of University College Falmouth, UK.

Working primarily from film stills, but also from collections of everyday images, I manipulate the associated personal relationships, unity and separation that existing figurative imagery can bring. I change the meanings and explore interactions by replacing, imposing, removing and comparing multiple elements. This is then pushed further through the flexible medium of paint. The abstract painterly qualities where a collage starts to fall apart and lose its figurative elements are an important part of finding a balance in the work. I utilise a variety of painting styles where necessary, emphasising the importance of marks to enforce the assorted imagery.

Currently working in Gloucestershire

Heya, I lost track of your gallery for a long time and stumbled upon it by chance today, and I must say, I'm impressed! You've done loads of new paintings, I like the new directions you're taking. Combining clear geometric form with the rough, blocky colour fields works really well! Makes me want to paint

Hey, I figured I'd tell you, I don't know if you saw, but I'm making a DA Zine, and each issue there will be an artist, a writer, and a photographer featured.

I didn't know if you were interested in being on the list. =]
