Artists Statement

I am a UK Based contemporary artist specialising in surrealist mixed med and textured abstract art. I am self-taught, dedicated to pushing the boundaries of subject and materials, with a relentless drive to create the unexpected. My work serves as a counterpoint to the digital age, embracing the solidity and tangibility of sculpture. I have a passion for experimental fine art.

I utilise acrylics, collage, paper, and a diverse array of materials, my artwork is characterized by its vibrant colours, texture, and tactile quality. My process is complex, and so each piece is unique. I am continuously exploring new ways of making art with new materials and inspirations.

My affordable art portfolio includes original arts, exclusive fine art canvas prints and limited editions. Each artwork tells a story- whether exploring Mar-Inspired Landscapes, fluid natural abstractions or intricate surrealist dreamscapes.

My creative process is heavily influenced by my travels to California, Scandinavia, and Iceland, as well as my virtual explorations of Mars and Brazil. Photography plays a crucial role in my work, enabling me to capture new perspectives on the ordinary and uncover the unexpected.

I exhibit regularly in Surrey, you can see a list here of coming exhibitions
