​My practice uses painting and drawing as a process of looking, responding and experimenting with landscape. I am interested in what happens when observation moves beyond representation, and when the physical behaviour of paint becomes part of the way a landscape is experienced, remembered or imagined.


Living in North Cornwall, I encounter the landscape through movement as well as observation. As a runner, I experience the Cornish lanes, hedgerows and holloways at speed and through repeated journeys, while painting allows me to slow down, revisit and transform those experiences. I use pouring, layering, mark making, staining, dripping and the interaction of controlled and unpredictable processes to explore how landscape can be held, disrupted and reimagined through paint.
