My artistic journey began with a National Diploma in Art and Design from Manchester Metropolitan University. From which I took a slight change of direction and ended up doing a Law Degree at the University of Birmingham and later an MSc in Civil Society Management. Not your typical artist’s journey I know...
...Jump forward a couple of decades, a bit of life experience and I am now delighted to be able to describe myself as a professional Illustrator by day and an artist by night.
​
My work has been exhibited in numerous galleries, including St Albans Museum, the Collective Gallery, St Pancras Hospital Conference Centre as well as pop up galleries in Fitzrovia, London. I have also painted several murals, the largest of which you can see on Drovers Way in St Albans.
​
I am inspired by nature, colour and I’m on a mission to reclaim the word “childish” as something that people should be proud to be called. I love letting my inner child play with a whole range of mediums including paint, paint pens, collage, resin as well as drawing digitally on my iPad.
​
I hope my work brings you joy.
