I was born in the North and raised in South West Wales, I've always loved to travel and explore, to learn about human beings, traditions, our mind and what connects us all. In 2014 I received my Bachelor Honours of Fine Arts at Kingston University & in 2010 won the West Wales Drawing Prize of the year. After Art school, I have dedicated my time to pursuing my passion for illustration and tattoo. I currently reside in Brighton as a resident Tattoo Artist at Blind Pig Tattoo Club, however much of my time is also spent working as an Artist and Musician. I would say I am a 'Multi-Media' Artist, as I grapple between many ways of expression.

​

I have always been an Artist from a young age, proudly raised working class by a single Mum up North until the age of 8 and then spending most my developmental years in Wales; being creative for me is second nature and all I have ever known. It heals and the method within making soothes. I have always felt an urge to make and in exploring this through Art School this helped me to understand creating on an intuitive basis, the involvement of our conscious and subconscious thought. With the exploration of self, the human condition is deeply routed in my instinctive need to make. My main interest is creating a process in the present moment, mark making and the creative decisions made with no desire for a destination. There is more in the process than the final product, there is more in the journey rather than the destination.

​

I have previously explored this through Music/Performance Art with the idea that our body inhabits/haunts a space. There is an understanding that there is a philosophical relationship between the temporary situation of time. Space becomes the object, whether this be the incomprehensible vastness of space within our universe, or moments in time/liminal space, memories, moment by moment; the spaces we cannot necessarily grasp. There is a fascination with the human mind, our subconscious and to that of which we cannot see.

 

There is an endless fascination with searching for something, with ritual, method and repetition and in storytelling/folklore. I feel that through tattooing and illustration; there are more boundaries, it is more controlled, methodic and planned. I am fascinated by the process of one human transaction to another within ritual and tradition of a craft that holds thousands of years of history, however with painting and my personal practise and through the act of making music in the moment through layering sound - there is more room for play with the goal being ambigious, there is a space I hold that is a moment in time.
