Biography
Since graduating from Chelsea School of Art and Central St Martins, I have been working as an illustrator and collage artist for over 30 years.
My images are a mixture of collage/found imagery layered with my own painting/mark making. My starting points.......a word, an image, a phrase which I like to turn on it's head, revealing the unexpected. My collages are often playful, juxtaposing the ordinary with the extraordinary, historical with contemporary, the animal world with the human world
