Bio

Q : How have you gravitated toward visual art?

A : Its the fascination and excitement of creating something that does not exist, making it somehow tangible and plausible.

Q : What is your favourite Medium to work in?

A : I have spent several years experimenting with digital and finding a way that is comfortable and a way that comes easy to me. Finding my own style has been important. On a traditional side I have love working in oils.

Q : Whats your least favourite color?

A : Magnolia…It’s kinda yuck! as a stand alone colour. However, ironically it does have a place in the work I do.

Q : Educated or Self-Taught?

A : I have a Bachelor’s degree with Honour’s in Theatre Design and Communication at UCE Birmingham. All my digital artwork is self taught.

Q : What is your hope for your work?

A : I hope to inspire other people’s visions and give that sense of wonder and awe. I’m a romantic at heart as well as a visionary and I feel that spills out in my own work.
