My practice is rooted in an investigation of place. Through drawing walks across Bristol, I record my immediate experience of the city; its architecture and people, interacting in a constant state of flux.

Back in my studio at St. Anne's House, these observations are developed imaginatively and intuitively. Built through layers of soft pastel and charcoal, these compositions merge what is observed with memory and imagination. I like to mix slow considered marks with quick bold gestures that carry an element of risk, letting the drawings evolve in unexpected ways as I work.

Through this intuitive process, everyday urban scenes are transformed into strange, dream-like spaces where time loses its logic. Shadows and reflections become protagonists within the composition, building a personal mythology out of the physical landscape and my experience of it.
