I gradated from Cardiff University, Howard Gardens in 2000 with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art majoring in sculpture and printmaking. He then completed a PGCE and I have worked in the education sector for over 24 years where I have taught a wide range of creative art specialisms including printmaking, life drawing, illustration, fine art, graphics, fashion, digital art and film studies.
I am a fully trained print maker and artist who likes to explore how language, meaning, and memory is used (both textually and visually in the creation of art.
I also write poetry and have recently started working on a poem based on both hethe Second Branch of the Mabinogi and the local Twmbarlwm myth of Bran which is linked into my recent work.
I have always been fascinated by how the written and visual language works within society and how it surrounds objects, memory and meaning. I also have an interest in the way it is transmitted through both text and the visual arts and more importantly its accuracy of meaning.
My recent work represents an ongoing project focusing on the use of monotype printmaking to explore memory and location. The works are inspired by memories of different locations experienced both in my distant past and more recently trips.
