Juxtapositioning and the Layering of Images to construct a Narrative, in order to retrieve a Memory, which belongs to a World that is already lost.

I am a Neurodivergent Mixed Media artist, freelance project and workshop facilitator based in North Wales. I work across a wide range of mediums including drawing, painting, printmaking and collage. Within my artwork I explore ideals of my heritage, neurodivergence, and the emotional labour of communication and memories

From a young age I have always been drawn to image debris and the collecting of vintage images and abandoned objects and I enjoy giving these objects a new identity, exploring their beauty against their physical and mental disabilities . I create my artwork in very expressive way layering a combination of mixed media including, painting, collage, drawing and printmaking. I find it easier to work with several of these techniques at once working with one medium only is diffucult for me. I enjoy the abstraction of images, physically manipulating the scale and fragmenting the forms and the act of constant drawing. This helps me to create these almost fragile looking textured pieces which evoke a narrative of human touch and these touching relationships which are on display show all of the scars, cracks and memories of everyday life

I have collaborated and led on several projects with various galleries, museums, educational establishments, community groups, local government authorities and arts & health groups. These sessions have included working with a wide range of media including - printmaking, painting, sculpture, 3D relief and collage.
