ABOUT

I’m not gonna write this in third person like some fancy ‘artiste’ I want to be honest and open. This is me just trying to find my way. I have spent 20 years trying to find my voice and carve a path in the art world. Battling tutors, family, friends, clients and the general preconception of what ‘Art & Design” is. Being told time and time again that my prefered working practice isn’t art or that I need to focus on one thing.

This led to a long career of working in sectors doing work I hated just to pay the bills. Being driven down graphic design then illustration led paths as I tired to fit myself into the prescribed sectors of an industry I couldn’t figure out.

Then the Pandemic hit and it gave eighteen months of reflection and realisation that at thirty five I needed to make a big change. I couldn’t just continue to coast and create the work others expected of me, it was going to drive me off the deep end.

That brings me to this site and this, a statement of intent! The site might appear somewhat devoid of work but that’s because I want this to act as a clean slate a fresh start to hopefully push me to create the work I want to create and work with the clients, brands and galleries I’ve dreamt of working with.

Anyway if you’ve read this far(thank you), enough of the tiny violin stuff and on with positive vibes.

I’m a mulit-media creative with a love and passion for all things action sport, adventure,  subculture orientated. These have heavily influenced my visual language and studies. I am a creative director, illustrator, designer and fine artist. I have also dabbled in some writing for projects and clients over the years.
