My practice takes seed in the allotment, on walks and in field research - in conversation with the land before it reaches the studio. Gardening and walking are as integral to my process as drawing and painting. My work is rooted in a devotional relationship with place, season and the more-than-human world.

I studied Contemporary Fine Art at Dartington College of Arts/Falmouth, working in the rivers and fields of Devon and Cornwall, where my relationship with ecology and land art took root. I later specialised in Buddhist iconography at SOAS, undertaking field research in Nepal that deepened my understanding of living traditions and ceremony.

 

My work draws on folkloric storytelling and Celtic myth to offer deeper kinship with the natural world. I work with the old stories of the British isles to bring indigenous knowledge and meaning back into living practice. Working in watercolour, printmaking, writing and storytelling, I am interested in a way of living and making that is land-based, seasonal and ceremonial.

Alongside my studio practice I teach, facilitate and offer mentorship to support creative wellbeing and reciprocity with the natural world.
