I am a Self-taught UK born artist

Living in Manchester, Mauritius & Gibraltar during my career & recently relocating to warm, friendly Malta.

Since leaving Mauritius my work has changed & progressed. Being connected to the everyday customer & working with them to create something special; embedding their quintessence whilst staying true to myself is most fulfilling.

I have had many life changing & profound moments; one being a vision quest in the Sierra Nevada Mountains, California. Camping alone in the wilderness, no food, only water for four days & four nights.

Interested in the intangible, that which we feel but cannot translate. My paintings begin with feelings derived from alternative perspectives bordering on a spiritual level

Working the contrasts of depth, texture & luminosity with a slightly obsessive edge, intricacy & layering. I choose to take you on a journey of the cosmos around me & the discovery of art being a spiritual experience.

Inspirations for me are found within the colours of nature; such as the iridescence of a paua shell or reflected light underwater. Meditation & music also help inspire me to create.

I have become part of several art consultancies & interior design platforms serving a more commercial & high end luxury customer base.

Exhibiting predominantly online has been beneficial for me though occasionally I enjoy supporting a local exhibition.

Building professional relationships which work amiably when dealing with new clients & commissions are gratifying, stretching my abilities especially when working on evolving criteria & critique to a tight deadline

Staying open minded to a piece progressing organically rather than holding onto a fixed idea of the end result has been imperative to working on commissions.

Being fluid has been essential to my growth & confidence. Working this way has been auspicious, each piece of art feeling like my best work.
