Biography
"My work aims to capture the evocative process of creating art. For me this connects deeply with the physical body and subconscious mind, the outcome of my work should represent the connection between myself and the medium. Inspired by evoking strokes, gestures and movement, responding to the pleasures of creating.
In between revealing and concealing, my work pushes away the boundaries of self-imposed rules. In turn exploring my own body within the depiction of photographs, live art and the process within expressionist painting."
