Biography

In 2022 I was included in the exhibition "And Now For The Good News", a selection of works from the Nobel Family Collection, at the Pera Museum, Turkey. In 2020 I reached the final 13 of The Royal Academy's "Portraits from the Precipice" climate change awareness competition. My work brings together influences from all aspects of my life including 1950s science fiction,  David Bowie, the films of Derek Jarman & Elliott Bristow, the photography of Cindy Sherman & Diane Arbus, and the DIY punk ethic of the 1970s. I work from ideas and chance, and construct pieces using whatever medium is needed to tell the story. I hope my work makes you stop, think and be entertained.
