I have a degree in Fine Art from Kingston University, South West London, and have been working independently as an artist and maker the past 4 years. My primary focus is on Corporate Art commissions, working exclusively with Warburtons for two years.
I am based in Bristol but blessed with a job – and a passion – that takes me all over the country collaborating with talented people, painting various venues to bring them to life.
I have experience with a variety of physical and digital art methods, including Painting, Illustration, Sculpture, Photography, Animation and Exhibition Design. I am also skilled in using Photoshop.
My typical style of working is a cross between the influences of Corporate Memphis style (named after the 1980’s Memphis Group designers), which features flat areas of colour and geometric elements, and the illustrator Horst Sambo, known largely for his work with Redbull.
Illustrative, bright, and geometric – with plenty of soul.
I've always had a love for old movies, "the glorious Black and White's" as they are referred to in my house!
It's from this that I think I draw my tendency to romanticise a more analogue lifestyle - Unplugging and spending time with loved ones, spending time outdoors, doing something for the journey rather than the destination, and seizing any excuse to bring people together to share a meal - all things that are actually quite grounding really.

After I graduated from the Kingston School of Arts in London during the pandemic I began work in a bakery in Bristol. I found my niche through my work and was able to lend my creativity to those more business minded, creating positive change in my workplace.
I learned a lot from my collaborators and gained the courage to begin all over again in a discipline that I had never tried before, and I never looked back. I love colour, line and soul, and I have a broad imagination when it comes to envisioning concepts, an asset which comes through in my paintings.
Northern people are renowned for being hard working and friendly, with a hospitable community focused outlook. I am proud to say that I was raised in Lincolnshire. My parents were key workers who taught me the value of thorough hard work from a young age, and an appreciation of family, history, and the natural world.
Every day people go about their lives, living their own narratives, with rich personal and family histories influencing their decisions, thoughts and behaviours. Each one impacts another every second of every day, and, to me, there is nothing more interesting and vibrant than that fact.
It’s beautiful and inspiring, the buzz of humanity in itself is a miraculous thing to separate yourself from and simply witness. I arrived in 1998, and after all these years I never get bored people. I feel it’s a privilege to talk and communicate with one another, and love nothing more than to experience and influence another person’s story, even just for a short while.
