Butterfly Collection
'Butterfly Collection' was originally created for a site specific installation in response to climate change. It has been reshown and rethought over the last few years. This is the latest composition.
Polyps of the Sea Papercut Reliefs
Inspired by corals polyps, tiny genetically identical organisms that form compact colonies.
Plastic Fossil Remains
Plastic Fossil Remains have been created from recycling plastic bags.
The Plastic Fossil Remains resemble fossils but with every piece of plastic ever created still being here it may be plastic that is all that remains!
Weather Patterns
Tree rings can tell us about climate change as they record information. Wider rings can indicate adequate water and sunshine whereas narrower rings can signify stressful environments like cold weather and drought.
Holly-Wood
Cross Sections
These can be freestanding, stacked, wall mounted or placed in a deep frame. Various colour sets can also be collected to make large wall installations.
Being made from recycled holly wood produced as a by-product of gardening, these unique pieces serve as a statement on the beauty and detail in nature which escapes the human eye.
Compact Colonies
Compact Colonies are inspired by corals, genetically identical polyps that form compact colonies. These corals can be stand alone pieces or can be grouped to form larger installations.
Although this installation is on permanent display at Beeldentuin Achter de Westduinen similar installations can be commissoned.
A response to the artificial way beauty is perceived as only skin deep.
The pattern was inspired by microscopic images of inside the human body and was constructed using layers of 'skin' from images of models on magazine pages (fashion, beauty and glamour)
On permanent display at Beeldentuin Achter de Westduinen, in Ouddorp. Shown in their restaurant.
Inner Beauty
Recycled Paper Maps
Recycled Paper Maps are made to order. The patterns within them are based on cross sections of trees and other plant life.
Coral Colonies
When coral becomes stressed through pollution or the rising sea temperatures caused by climate change the algae that gives the coral it's amazing colours is ejected from the corals tissue leaving it prone to disease, taking away its main food source and most noticeably giving it a bleached appearance.
Sea Life in Plastic
Sea life in plastic is inspired by the the amazing animal and plant life in our oceans and is created from plastic as that is all we are going to be able to see in our oceans if we continue contaminating it.
Tree Cross Section Wall Hangings
These Tree Cross Sections Wall Hangings are inspired by images of slices of tree trunk under the microscope. They are created mainly from old books to make a statement on the issues of deforestation, bringing the book back to it's origins.
Plastic Coral Reef
These Plastic Coral Reef Wall Hangings have been created by recycling plastic bags.

Watercolour Pores Paintings of
Tree Cross Sections
Pores paintings are inspired by the beautiful, intricate patterns fpund in cross sections of trees that can't be seen by the naked eye. Seeing the microscopic images of the tree cross sections are like looking into another world.
Leaf Drawings
Leaves filled with microscopic patterns.
Animal Magic
Snakes
I'm working on a new project painting cell normalities and diseases found in animals that are helping us find answers to our own survival and teaching us lessons to prevent future environmental disasters. The patterns found within the animals are based on the findings. When the work has been developed further prints and cards will be available to purchase.
PM11: Inspiration
I was commissioned to design and create this large site specific wall installation for SAICAs new paper mill was produced for SAICA’s PM11 paper mill at Partington, Manchester for the inauguration in April 2013.wall with the addition of four childrens workshops which saw the children creating artwork to be incorporated into the installation.

Paper Tree
Commissioned for the entrance of Hamilton Court. Created using recycled paper from old books and magazines.
Blood Cells
I installed an installation that I created in Toronto that was commissioned by Bio Rad.
It's made up of thousands of printed blood cells. It measures 1.5 metres in diameter and had to be pieced together in situ.
