  Art 


    

 

 

 

  • I am a painter, photographer and art history student currently in the writing-up year of a PhD at the University of York. I am originally from Liverpool but now live and work in the East Riding of Yorkshire with my family.

 

  • I work in a wide variety of media including paint, wax, clay, cement, collage, textiles, photography and digitally designed imagery. I gained a First Class Honours degree in fine art and design in 2003 at York St John University, and am currently working on new paintings for 2009.

 Art History


I have a Masters degree in the history of art and am  currently in the writing-up year of my Ph.D in the History of Art department at the University of York, UK. You can read about my dissertation topic titled "The Life of Simeon Solomon after 1873" HERE. It focuses on the life of the Victorian, Jewish, Pre-Raphaelite, Aesthetic artist Simeon Solomon (1840-1905) after he was arrested for attempted sodomy in 1873.

 

Conferences


In May and November 2007 I organised two conferences for the British Art Research School at the University of York. The first one was titled a 'Simeon Solomon Symposium' and the second co-organised with Bryony Shaw was titled 'Plastercasts, Tramps and Bridges: New Perspectives in Nineteenth-Century Material Culture'.
