I was born in Cornwall and have been drawn towards Art and creative subjects ever since attending primary school. I naturally pursued this passion through my secondary school years in the southwest, and it wasn’t until I attended Truro College that I became drawn toward the design elements. This led me to study interior design at the university of North London.
Whilst studying my degree course I achieved a greater understanding of the drawn line, position and perspective. I also had the satisfaction of seeing my drawings and ideas become reality in the form of models and installationsThe pressures inherent in studying and working in London made me realize how much I missed the South West. I would consistently return when work and my studies permitted. A constant being my summers spent camping on the Isles of Scilly. One memorable camping trip, surrounded by the heat haze and blue waters of Bryher Island, provided a powerful catalyst for me to return to Cornwall for good.After five years and a gradual disillusionment with London life, that summer gave me all the inspiration I required to make the brave attempt of packing my bags, and returning to the Southwest to indulge my aspirations to take up fulltime painting.
