Studio Practice
My studio is based in Cannizaro Park, Wimbledon Common. Run by ACAVA, the studios were formerly the potting sheds for the gardens. Studio visits can be arranged by appointment, if you are interested please contact me.
I use the studio to work on larger projects and as a place to go to continue my drawing practice. It offers the space to put work on the wall as it develops.

On occasion I have collaborated with other artists at the studio. Sculptor Tim Norris has helped me design and build 3D site-specific drawing installations for such locations as the South Bank and Brighton Pavilion Gardens.

Practice in the studio is very much influenced by the space itself and its surroundings. The frosted windows give a diffused light which lets in hints of the greenery outside and demands additional artificial lighting.

In between projects I make drawings and paintings through the seasons, in and around the park.
