Born 1971 •
'Art is like a love affair, it is driven by desire, passion and a consistent longing.'

I'm contemplating about why I became an artist.  I have created art since chilhood and my desire continued into adulthood, not dampened by the stresses and pressures of life. Painting for me is an immersive existential experience. 

I achieved a Fine Art Bachelors Honours degree and Masters degree from the University of Westminster in London UK. I have been exhibiting in the UK since 1996.

The key artists who have influenced my work were those of the Modernist era.  I love the work of artists such as Matisse, Juan Gris and George Gleizes, to name but a few. They were audacious and approach the creation of art with vigour and fun. The colours, shapes and angles in their work play with our perceptions but keep us transfixed. I want to recreate the playfulness and vibrancy in my work, interconnecting sharp angles with soft curves and the use of a multitude of colours.I feel creating art is like a love affair, it is driven by desire, passion and a consistent longing.

My work is currently exhibited in several online platforms but I have also exhibited and sold work in galleries and art fairs across the UK. I have collectors across the globe from the UK and Europe to The USA and as far afield as Japan and South Korea.
