I have recently graduated from a Fine Art degree course at Bath Spa School of Art and Design. The course gave me the opportunity to travel to Paris and New York to experience a wide range of artworks, which was inspirational and has influenced my work. During my time at Bath, I experimented with text-based paintings, using stencils, spray paints, and sometimes paint. Eventually the text-based ideas took a back seat as I returned to oil painting in a more figurative manner. However, there is still a link to the text, in the way that I paint spaces where scrawled pieces of text or graffiti are often seen, and a couple of my paintings include some of this. I feel that I work with elements that are related in some way, through words, communication, and urban environments. In my paintings I try to create a sense of mood and atmosphere, while keeping a feeling of mystery and intrigue.
