"Our individual and shared experience of being Human, living together on this magnificent and beautiful planet, where we all individually have a finite amount of Time, is of deep interest to me.

Observing social dynamics and solitary states, the faces we show, the ones we don’t and all the intricate layers in between, adds fuel to my desire to authentically document Life."

I have always had a passion for Film.

The echo of Time captured and story expressed in etherial materials (sound and picture,) can connect with us on such a deep level that at times it remains with us forever, in the depths of our own memory; so absorbed in another's journey, that in that moment, it becomes our own.

 

After studying Fine Artist at Chelsea School of Art, my desire long term was to direct Film.  I was advised early on, that if pursed Editing, it would give me an advantage in understanding the art of Creative Storytelling.

My editing career has spanned more than 15 years and I’ve had the privilege of working with world renowned directors, actors, musicians, creatives, music labels, advertising agencies and brands and thank them all for allowing me to contribute to their vision with many of these projects having meaningful impact for their audiences globally. 

It also has lead me to travel around the world which I am grateful for.

​

My return to a Fine Art practice is a recent one and I am enthusiastic to bring to my work both the imagery I have documented over the years and the experience I have gained. 

 

I have learnt that the process of painting and film editing is very similar, especially in the areas of decision making, focus and the concentration of time. Both have moments where you have to kill off parts dear to you, in order that the piece can come together as a whole. Both require perfectionism and perseverance, to help you push through those times where it is hard to crack; and not get overwhelmed by the task ahead. And every change opens the door for previously discarded ideas and parts to come back into play. Both should be a constant learning and that's what makes it exciting. The piece will always know what it is. It's up to us to listen and be lead; there lies the magic.

 

I don't have a fixed material.  I trust that I will find the right course for the idea, and see where it takes me.
