I am a South Manchester based artist creating lively and contemporary artwork using collage and mixed media, often visiting charity shops to search out old books, maps and dressmakers patterns to use within my drawings. I explore several themes within my art but my main interest is places, particularly within Manchester and surrounding areas; my work offers a fresh and original perspective on urban scenery. I have exhibited at The Deva Centre in Manchester, The Everyman Art Gallery, The Old Parsonage in Didsbury, and Vernon Mill Art exhibitions. I have also sold work at Altrincham Market and through private commissions.
