An artist, printmaker, and poet, much of my work revolves moment and becoming.  I work with a restricted palette as doing so places the emphasis upon marks — whether those marks be visual, written, or both.

I was born in Bethesda, Wales, grew up in Reading, England, studied at the Welsh School of Architecture, the University of London, Aberystwyth University, and Aston University and worked variously in architectural history, social work, and in higher education before discovering printmaking at the tail end of the Covid pandemic and being driven then to make my living as an artist.  My work has been selected for exhibition at The Mall Galleries and at the Royal Cambrian Academy and my poetry has appeared in PN Review, Stand, and in the national press.  I am a member of The North Wales Society of Fine Art and of Aberystwyth Printmakers.  I live in Llanfairfechan, Conwy.
