My work explores numerous forms of illness and disability in human beings, society and within the medical world. My interest in this comes from having a brain tumour at a young age and later my mam having a stroke and spending months in hospital.
My main area of work is paint (Acrylics) in the contemporary form but I also explore using clay and other materials for sculpture. I did this to give real insight to what is beyond our initial view/sight.
I have always been fascinated by reality through art and the ability to recreate art in numerous forms.
