I'm a self taught artist based in Wimbledon, London.  As someone who has always been creative and had an eye for design, It took me a long time to recognise I could be an artist. This time came in 2022 when I got myself a studio at Wimbledon Art Studios. I've not looked back since. I've moved studios three times in three years, made possible by all the collectors that have supported me on my journey so far. I am and will always be eternally grateful for all the support I have received so far. 

I was born a raised in Crawley, Sussex. A somewhat stereotypical post-war satellite town nestled between London and Brighton. Not somewhere known for it's creative opportunities but somewhere that has influenced my art nonetheless. After spending my early 20s as a freelance photographer, I knew the artistic bar was low in Crawley and that if I wanted push on and improve I needed be in London. 

I moved to Whitechapel in 2018 and lived in a property guardianship. We were looking after an ex-Salvation Army homeless hostel that was due for a redesign. It was cheap and had a lot of extra space to play and be creative. It was here where I dabbled in lots of different creative practices. 

 I've always had a lot of different creative endeavours going on at one time. I always felt under pressure to pick one. Wether it be photography, furniture, painting etc...  It was during a spell of isolation during Covid, I took a moment to realise that all these different practices were mediums on my artist palette. I was an artist. I finally had the confidence I needed to call myself an artist. My journey began.

My work takes on inspirations from the world around us, both politically and physically. The world is becoming increasingly contrasted. I try to capture this extreme contrast by combining different materials to create polarising tactile symbol of hope and awareness. Like Carravagio's bowl of rotting fruit, my work can be beautiful and carry a deeper message. 

I started experimenting with ink and charcoal. In awe of the depth and texture you can achieve with two simple mediums. Later combining charcoal with paint and resin to create a lot of my paintings.  Fascinated by watching someone battle with themselves over wether or not reach out and touch my one of paintings, I decided to start making three dimensional works. Sculptural forms you could pick up and touch. Still carrying the same philosophy I apply to my paintings. 

I bought a wood turning lathe in 2024 to aid my transition into a three dimensional world. I put myself on a youtube crash course over the next few months. Using wood from trees that have fallen naturally or have been felled because of disease, I create vessels that are highly textured.

If you have a commission proposal in mind, I would be more than happy to hear your ideas. Please don't hesitate to get in touch. I've worked with many clients on different projects. All shapes, sizes and colours. 

If for at any reason you are not 100% happy upon collection, there will be no obligation to buy.
