My work in brief

My practice floats around themes such as the human body, contactless living and the relationship between land and identity. Observational drawings, in streets or eateries, on trains or ferries or in the life drawing studio are my source material for more symbolistic work in oil or print.

I love life drawing, sketching in oil or ink to build up a vocabulary of the body. As well as experimental printmaking approaches (e.g. in moving image), I wipe, scratch, scour, burnish, dab and splatter in monoprint and etching, producing images of the body that shout that they've been produced by a human.

I have exhibited regularly at Cambridge Contemporary Art, as well as in London, including at Mall Galleries and Bankside gallery. My etchings have been shown at Woolwich Contemporary Print Fair and Royal Society of Painter-printmakers exhibitions (awarded the East London Printmakers prize for outstanding print). Last year I was awarded a residency at Cambridge Artworks for my MA degree show, and this year have taken up the Expanded Print residency at Graphic Studio Dublin, and been shortlisted for the Ingram Prize.

A solo exhibition of my paintings and prints, Do you Feel Irish?, opened at the London Irish Centre in October 2024. The gallery below shows some of the works and installation views.
