A bit of a mixed week… lots of ideas earlier in the week which are all scribbled down so they don't get lost. I've pushed ahead with the background research… I've been trawling through 19th century census results and apportionments […]
I've just been trawling through my iPhoto library uploading pictures and realised there was something I had missed writing about – 'Grace's House'. I came across Grace's house when out walking with my partner some months ago half a mile […]
I recently completed a three months residency at in Paris. My residency at Cite Internationale des Arts was a great opportunity to meet artists from all over the world, as most countries have at least one live in studio on […]
My work is often inspired by the Christian religion and human interest stories and in Paris I feel this is much more on the surface. The dichotomy of the church and eroticism in equal measures inspired me to make a […]
My studio had a view over the Seine and Ile st. Louis with its starkly beautiful monochrome townhouses and Notre dame to the side.Paris is truly infectious and not only did I have a very romantic experience I was also […]

Why make art? To compensate oneself for the fact that one dies and disappears from the earth? I am making a year long journey around Europe and I am trying to make sense of it and the journey I make […]
I've got a solo exhibition coming up in August at Wrexham Arts Centre. I have been working on stuff for the show for the past three years. I'm really interested in exploring themes that have been relevant to me for […]
After months of correspondence via email I am finally going to meet up with my voluntary model this evening. Back in December of last year Elaine responded to my post on the Leeds Visual Art forum to show her interest […]
