Welcome to Culture in Kent

I work in a diversity of mediums from oil paints to mixed media and still love experimenting with new materials and techniques.

I enjoy storytelling through my paintings and use symbolism to conceal the tale. I have a strong sense for colour which has always come very naturally to me.

My influences come from the Surrealist and Pre-Raphaelites which I’m emotionally drawn to the dreamlike forms and well-painted styles.

I sell both nationally and internationally to private collectors and have worked on and welcome many commissions. I’m also represented by the Beumee Gallery in Tunbridge Wells.

Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival is an annual event run by a volunteer led committee supported by public grants, donations & business sponsorship. The Sandwich Folk & Ale Festival Committee is a non-profit unincorporated association led by an elected team of professionals, folk lovers and ale drinkers.
The Festival takes place in the streets and wonderful hospitality venues in the beautiful historic town of Sandwich, Kent.
The festival has grown year upon year bringing a wide range of entertainment, stall holders, Morris dancers & much more, and, all for free!

My work ranges from functional to sculptural using whichever technique best suits the ideas I’m exploring, but always finding it’s starting point from the natural world.
I generally work with red and white earthenware clay but have also been experimenting with naturally found sea clay and reclaimed bone china.
In recent work I have been exploring the tradition of creating sprig moulds directly cast from plants and leaves.
Originally trained in dance and having worked in theatre and the arts as a Producer and Lighting designer, I have been making ceramics since graduating from a studio ceramics course at the Royal Forest of Dean College in Gloucestershire. I recently moved from Surrey to Kent, and made the transition to full time maker, setting up a studio in New Romney, located by the sea and overlooking the marshes.
I make a range of work that is inspired by the natural world around me.

I am an artist who uses a camera.
Encouraged by Landscape photographer, Fay Godwin I gained a BA Hons in Visual Communication at KIAD and graduated with a greater understanding of conceptual thinking and how the camera can be more than simply a light box. Technically self taught and learning day by day and discovering the magical affect of light dancing upon the lens and its connection to heart and mind.

Living in Whitstable, on the North Kent coast, the sea and the shoreline are my constant inspiration

Professional wildlife and landscape photographer. Workshops held in the UK and overseas.

I’m a professional landscape and wildlife photographer living in Kent, England. Born in 1970, from as young as I can remember I have always had a fascination with the natural world, and from the moment I first picked up a camera (a Kodak Brownie 127) at the age of 6, I’ve been hooked!
