Artist Statement -




My inspiration could be summed up by the many hand print impressions found in cave art around the world. This simple hand impression can be seen as lying at the core of my artistic vision, it’s origin is perhaps human kinds most ancient creative expression and can be seen in cave paintings over 50,000 years old, the signature of the first mural artists. Of course it’s not a print, rather the impression left after the hand has been removed and as such symbolises the marks left on the environment by people now departed.
To me this is a profoundly democratic view of art for all, on the street, enhancing and changing our environment, interacting with people, landscape and architecture reflecting a sense of place through the expression of our history and humanity, it is this that inspires me.

My practice concentrates on working in large scale painted murals, mosaics for floors and walls and mosaic sculptures. In developing this work I draw on the specific site, its history and stories, its architecture and landscape and its community and users to create works which are specific to each site, enduring and beautiful. My experience includes working with other artists, council officers, architects, landscapers, interior designers, planners, engineers and contractors and I have worked extensively with a wide variety of community groups at every level of the creative process.
