I am a Welsh artist based in Merseyside. My work spans painting, sculpture, and printmaking, often rooted in storytelling, memory, and cultural ritual. After working in various jobs, I entered art college in 1978 in Wrexham, later completing a BA at Cardiff School of Art and a postgraduate diploma in theatre design at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. I went on to work as an art director and designer in theatre, television, and film, and have taught art and design up to higher education level. I have an MA in Fine Art. Most of my work blends personal narrative with wider social and environmental concerns. My series, I Do Like to Be Beside the Seaside, explores the collision between nostalgia, folklore, and ecological breakdown and is fairly typical  of my interests and my working methods.
