I am an illustrator and printmaker working from my studio, Circa1990 Ltd in Sevington, Ashford.  As a printmaker, my primary mediums are linoleum & silk screen printing, however I also explore collagraph and cyanotypes.  

My digital vector illustrations are inspired by vintage travel posters from America and Europe in the 20th century which predominantly feature architecture. I'm inspired by the bold and beautiful artwork of Tom Eckersley & Patrick Caulfield. 

As a committee member of Ashford Visual Artists, I currated an exhbition in Rye Reflections on Time with photographer Peter East-Hall and painter Rowena McWilliams. 

I have taken on a number of public works including a commission for The World Reimagined, producing a fibreglass globe sculpture on slavery.  This was exhibited in London in 2022.

Im currently working on a series of papercuts & exploring casting.
