"As a Creative Arts student, studio practice is one of my many streams of expression, along with theatre practice, design, dance and singing. Therefore my visual practice is influenced by a range of mediums, including other artists. My inspiration and passion comes from a deep personal belief in a God given gifting and purpose in life.

In my paintings, I like to experiment with collage techniques along with layers of acrylic and spray paint. I take influence from urban environments particularly with decaying posters and intricate layers of street art. My faith has been a major influence in my studio practice in the past two years as I look to challenge our perceptions of figures and ideas known from the Bible. I have worked through theological issues of faith in my work and hope to represent these in a diverse and liberating way.

Being originally from Northern Ireland, I am excited to return home equipped and enriched with the experiences I have gained here at Lancaster University. I can only hope for more of this from the rich creative culture of Belfast where I hope to continue my practice."
