I personally describe myself as "a fidget” when it comes to my painting style. Somedays I feel like painting photographic style works and sometimes abstract; a fusion of classical techniques whilst also being experimental. I do have this obsession with depth and colour in my pieces, I love to try and give the flat canvas a 3d quality.

I was born in Dartford, Kent in 1983 and was been brought up in an artistic family so have been painting and drawing for a number of years. I discovered more of a passion for oil painting at school before going on to complete a Diploma in Art and Design at The Kent Institute of Art and Design to further my education. After my time at KIAD I turned to a career in music.

Although I concentrated most of my time on music I still painted many pictures and had commissions as a hobby with the occasional exhibition. From mid-2015 though I decided to change career direction and turn most of my time to my artwork.
