Artist & Creative Mentor

About Me

Artist and Creative Mentor of 20 years.

About Me

I have been practicing as a professional Artist for over 20 years. I studied Foundation studies in Art and Design and a Degree in Visual Art.

10 years as a creative Mentor to Students and an Arts Awards Adviser Trinity College London.

My work has been influenced by a wide range of interests in music, fashion, cinematography, interior design and nature and my surreal.

What I Do

Bespoke contemporary paintings for interiors which are created to compliment the personality of the space and its occupier.

My paintings specifically focus on warmth, depth and light and act as a key finishing feature to any space.

The balance is created using the power of colour pigment which sinks below and dances above a canvas, capturing movement and natural light.
