Bio

I am an artist and educator, living in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. I was born in England and I came to the US in 1994, originally to undertake a 6-month Residency at the Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska.

My work explores ideas of memory, place, and displacement; of wilderness and our constructed environment, and our uneasy interactions with what we call Nature, using a combination of drawing, printmaking, photography, video and installation. I’ve exhibited at Arnolfini Gallery and Bristol City Museum in the UK; Whitman College in Walla Walla, Washington; Susquehanna Art Museum, Harrisburg, and Erie Museum in Pennsylvania; Silver Eye Center for Photography, Pittsburgh Filmmakers and Pittsburgh Center for the Arts. Three of my large-scale drawings are in the permanent collection and on exhibition at the David Lawrence Convention Center in Pittsburgh. My photography, printmaking, and drawing are in private collections in both the UK and the US.
