Biography

 

'I believe in confrontational Art, in Art as witness. Referencing historical, cultural or political topics, I try to make work that

evokes an emotional response in the viewer.'

'I have a BA (Hons) Degree in Fine Art and I've been working as a painter for just over 10 years.'

​

'I have collectors across the UK and Europe and I'm represented by Kyo Gallery in Washington DC.'
