I am an English painter inspired by both the expressive human figure found in classical painting and the instinctive mark-making of the Abstract Expressionists and Symbolists.

Drawing has always been an important part of my practice. I have explored many different drawing styles, often using them to understand the body, space, memory and our relationships with one another.

I studied Fine Art at Goldsmiths, University of London, and later completed a Master's degree in Fine Art at Canterbury UCL.

Today I work from my studio at home by the sea in the south of England. Alongside my painting practice, I work as a Creative Concept Consultant for a leading restaurant and hospitality design company.

i have exhibited at; 

STABLES ART GALLERY, HASTINGS 

MEMORIAL ART GALLERY , HASTINGS

BRIXTON ART GALLERY

PIE FACTORY MARGATE

HASTINGS MUSEUM AND ART GALLERY 

RYE ART GALLERY 

FAIRFAX GALLERY, TONBRIDGE WELLS 

HODGSON LOOM GALLERY, ISLE OF MAN 

My inspiration comes from an interest in capturing the essence of the human form. Through painting and drawing, I explore the relationship between body and spirit, and the idea that all forms of being are temporary and constantly changing.

My work is held in a private collections and is available to purchase directly from my studio in St Leonards On Sea , east sussex
