I am not only an artist but also a silversmith and former dive instructor who is passionate about water.
For ten years I lived in The Sudan, Africa, a country, with very little rainfall - upon my return to the UK I found myself thinking more and more about this essential resource and how we often take it for granted.
I aim to exhibit the ever-persistent endurance of water that is a keystone to life. The sheer tenacity displayed by water is personified in its human tendencies, bearing the characteristics we hold most dear - water is patient, dynamic and pragmatic.
Having already employed the use of copper leaf in my art works; the beautiful, reflective qualities of silver leaf and fine silver wire presented the next logical step to my work.
