Born in Coventry in 1974, now based between Hove in the UK and Ottawa in Canada. Attended Coventry University, first gaining a Diploma in Art and Design and then a BA in Graphic Design.
I have since gone on to form a career over the past twelve years as a freelance graphic designer and illustrator while at the same time continuing to paint, gradually forming my own style.
A self taught artist, I paint mainly with acrylics, I find their rapid drying time allows me to keep greater vibrancy in my colours while the clearly defined brush strokes bring a sculptural quality to my paintings.
