My work is a combination of figurative sculpture, masks, string puppets, automaton and prints. Exploring our connection to, and place within, the natural world and how our culture and relationships influence, inform and affect this and us. 

 To convey these themes and messages I use biodegradable, renewable, and sustainable raw natural materials or mediums made from sustainable natural materials. I also use recycled waste materials and textiles or found items from household waste or beach combing, to inform and make my pieces. 

 Some of my artistic influences include David Nash and Andy Goldsworthy. Growing up near to The Yorkshire Sculpture Park I had the chance to see some of their works first hand in my youth, this had a huge impact on me, seeing the connection they made to the natural world through huge sculpture or land art, and the beauty of the natural materials they chose. Being the granddaughter of a miner in Barnsley also had a huge impact, and seeing the possibility for a more viable career, I chose to pursue my other passion, science. 

 I went on to study Animal behaviour and welfare, being inspired by the work of Charles Darwin and Jane Goodall. Then going on to work for The British Trust for Conservation Volunteers, and again being drawn to the works of Andy Goldsworthy and David Nash as I learnt to use natural materials for work, such as drystone walling and hedge laying, I began to see how I could combine my passion for art and science. During this time I met my partner, and sharing my love of art and science we decided to dedicate ourselves to living sustainably and producing artworks informed by this. 

 My current works are concerned with climate change, biodiversity loss, and human responsibility, in the hopes that it may inspire action and change.
