About

I am a Lancaster based contemporary painter, using mainly oil, acrylic, mixed media and digital media. 

Project overview

Face Your Fear

My projects are based on the theme of, ‘Face Your Fear.’ I am profoundly deaf and want to share my deeply personal experience and appreciation of fear which has been generated many times through miscommunications and misunderstandings. My work therefore focuses on feelings around the uncanny and the misunderstood.
