I am a photographer and artist based in Devon. My passion is for flowers and the Devon countryside. The floral images are mainly still life, many using dead flowers which seem to hold a unique beauty. Other art is work in progress so there won't be much to see just yet

Having completed a degree in Fine Art in 2011 my current body of work is photographic.

My work consists mainly of flowers which are observed and contained, a traditional feminine subject, but not perhaps as usually seen. The flowers act as a metaphor for woman and humanity in general and comment on our society’s obsession with youth and yet suggest a beauty to this ageing process. A comment on the transience of youth and beauty.

The medium I have used for my current body of work is photography and scanograms, large and small Giclée prints. Sometimes  printed on silk and incorporating stitch or as printed or hand bound books.

I am now working on a new body of work expressing the colours of the devon countryside in mixed media
