About Me

“Having been brought up to appreciate the great outdoors, I have been fascinated with the natural world & ecology for as long as I can remember. This has led me to pursue various elements of sustainability throughout much of my two and three-dimensional work.

I have a broad spectrum of creative interests, and my work spans the fields of graphics & illustration, product & furniture design, and web design.

During previous projects, I have embarked upon studies of the use of materials, the minimisation of waste, the saving of energy, and renewable energy sources.

In my spare time, I also enjoy embarking on more traditional arts and crafts when the mood grips me. I also enjoy running about with my trusty camera taking snaps, mountain biking, growing my own food in the garden, and cult fiction & film."
