I live and work in Ipswich, Suffolk (UK) and have been interested in art since I was a child but only started taking lessons in my twenties. I started creating abstract work in oils and began selling these in 2005 when I was living in Dubai.
Getting more and more busy in 2006, I started working in acrylics to meet the demand for work that was being commissioned for hotels and interior designers and started working as an artist full time.
I took part in many exhibitions and markets in Dubai, including having a stall at a weekly market for over 3 years. I also provided paintings for a number of hotels in the Emirate, including the Address Dubai Mall, The Marriott Harbour Dubai and the Four Points Sheraton. In addition my paintings can also be found at a private villa belonging to Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed al Nahyan in Abu Dhabi.
In 2011 I moved back to the UK and continued my abstract work, painting from my home in Ipswich.
I am an elected member of Ipswich Art Society as well as having been on the committee of Suffolk Open Studios for many years. I take part in exhibitions in Suffolk as well as around the UK and Europe – you can find details of all of these on the events page. I usually have a few exhibitions each year where I share with one or two other artists. At these exhibitions you can usually see my whole body of work. I also take part in group exhibitions where I may have one or two pieces selected.
My focus currently is on a body of abstract expressionist work which allows me to experiment with mark making and colours and patterns with some of my work transitioning to become aerial views of seascapes.
I have been featured 3 times in Saatchi Art collections, and also sell my art worldwide via that platform where you can also buy selected prints of my work.
I keep all of my current activities updated on my Instagram. account and also on my Facebook page.
If you are interested in any of my paintings or would like to offer gallery representation then please feel free to contact me.
