mixed media artist and photographer

I continue to focus my research on the rapidly transforming urban landscape. Cityscapes is a series which discusses the progression of architecture, technology, political and social change.
I work with a wide range of materials: mixed media painting, photography, photographic transfer technique, collage and printmaking to explore the texture, colour and abstract forms inspired by my surroundings.

Photography has become my tool to investigate, discover, confront and ultimately portray the complex and fascinating world we live in. I turn these images into hand applied photographic transfers and layer them with essential colours and pure lines over a variety of materials and surfaces: wood, canvas and oxidized metals.

I divide my time between my studios in Padua, Italy and Wiltshire, England. Where I also run art workshops and painting holidays for adults and children, and symposiums for artists and teachers. I undertake commissions and can assist with image sourcing
