I am an artist living on the edge of the New Forest inspired by folk culture and wild places.

Artist’s Statement

“I am an artist living on the edge of The New Forest. I use folklore, folksong, old customs, games and rituals to explore contemporary issues, particularly rural social and economic disparity. Country living can be a strange mix of bounty and hopelessness but when people have access to their own strong and sinuous roots, their own history and stories, they have anchorage and hope. I seek the stories that connect us and as an artist I'm thinking of different ways of pinning them up on the metaphorical village hall notice board for all to see.”
