For me, art is a way of freely expressing myself in a society and world full of constraints and boundaries. Art allows me to be who I want to be without feeling like I have to conform.

I love art that creates a different meaning to each individual viewer and am intrigued by how the artist has control over this thought process but at the same time doesn’t.  They are aware of how the context and positioning of their work will provoke ideas for the viewer but will not imply a specific meaning.

I specialise in print making, my current work is based on the method of silk screen printing. My inspiration comes from combining my two passions in life, art and drama. My aim is to take plays and scripts that have inspired me, and take them out of their original context of being read or performed, and make them into a piece which is still viewed by an audience but not in the same way. Giving the viewer a sense of the piece but generating their own meaning, I want my pieces to create questions not answers.
