As a student at Bradford School of Art I became interested in Surrealist Art and have enjoyed visiting Farleys House and Gallery.

My work expresses my concern about the damaging environmental effects of single use products. My art isn’t what it’s made from, but what it has become.

While in lockdown, I made a series of canvases of the blossoming cherry tree in my garden. I felt inspired by Picasso’s depictions of birds so used discarded scratch cards from the Spanish Basque region sent to me by a friend, to create an image entitled ‘Árbol de la Vida’ (Tree of Life).
