Artist Biography

Birmingham based artist who focuses on how to use colour to represent a person or place.

I am still trying to work out who I am as an artist and to be quite honest I still don’t really know and not even sure I will ever know. I think that is ok. I embrace the marks my brushes make on the canvas, as well as the way colours mix upon direct impact - using a process of application and removal, accepting the element of chance to do some of the work. I am particularly interested in light and how it affects different surfaces - how I can portray this from image to painting, whilst continuing to use bold colours to achieve this. I am constantly experimenting, trying out new pieces and projects. I am also continuing to develop my portraiture and figure work. Capturing more than just a face is a challenge, but one I enjoy working on in my spare time. I also work as a commissioning artist, working with clients to get the desired result.
