About
British artist and craftsperson with a passion for creating exceptional and unique artworks, I have dedicated the past two decades to inspiring and moving audiences through my creations. With a strong foundation in Art and Design studies at South Devon College, I embarked on a transformative journey that has shaped my artistic vision.
Born in Birmingham, England, on July 9th, 1980, my artistic awakening occurred during a profound encounter with a Mark Rothko painting at the renowned Tate Modern. This pivotal moment fueled my creativity, and I embarked on a relentless pursuit to create my own captivating canvases. Painting day and night, I eventually sold my first abstract artworks on eBay, igniting the thriving art business I proudly operate today.
Over the years, my artistic style has continuously evolved. While I excel at crafting photorealistic graphite pencil portraits that capture the essence of my subjects, my works often exude a gothic aesthetic, influenced by my deep fascination with myth, magic, and folklore. Living amidst the stunning coastal landscapes of Cornwall, I draw inspiration from the beautiful oceans that surround me, infusing my creations with a captivating allure.
Among my accomplishments, I take particular pride in my luxurious and intense canvas paintings, which radiate opulence and sophistication. These exclusive pieces are designed to captivate viewers, drawing them into a profound emotional entanglement with each individualized artwork. With a portfolio boasting over 500 predominantly abstract paintings, I have successfully partnered with corporate companies to infuse their spaces with designer style and visual allure.
Beyond my artistic pursuits, I cherish quality time with my daughters, enjoying beach days and embarking on woodland walks. Cornwall's magical scenery offers me ample opportunities to capture its natural beauty through photography, providing additional creative outlets for my boundless passion.
My home studio, located just outside of Liskeard, serves as the fulcrum of my artistic endeavours. Here, I curate extensive portfolios of my prior artwork and extend a warm invitation to visitors interested in viewing, purchasing, or commissioning my creations.
If you desire bespoke artwork for your home, office, or any other space, please reach out to me in advance to arrange a visit and discuss your ideas. Thank you for considering my artwork. I eagerly anticipate the opportunity to collaborate with you, creating a beautiful and unique piece that will inspire and deeply resonate with your artistic sensibilities.
