about the artist…

Both the nature of this planet and everything other worldly are key inspirations in my artwork, with abstraction, psychedelia and paganism all running through everything that I create. Within my practise I focus on visual communication, illustrating my deeply rooted passions for folklore and nature - aiming to explore how these things can connect us to both our ancient ancestors whilst also creating connections to the modern day Earth.

When not making art I can be found foraging in forests, knitting badly and exploring stone circles. I am currently based in the exciting city of Newcastle upon Tyne. As a “Sandgrown'un” (born and bred in Blackpool), I have a deep affinity for the sea and strive to look into the watery abyss as frequently as possible.

I’m always keen to work collaboratively on visual communication designs, creating murals or typography, and anything experimental - so please do get in touch!
