Essex born Londoner and artist.

My work is inspired by a number of different factors: found pieces from magazines & cuttings, graffiti, pop art, bold colours, plays on words, and a haphazard style.

Ageless

8th-24th November 2024

I'm very excited to be doing my 2nd solo art show.

Titled 'Ageless', I will be taking over the upstairs floor of Cass Art, Kingston Upon Thames for 2 weeks in November.

This is a retrospective of my art from the last few years showcasing how my style and process has developed.

On show are a selection of my original, mixed media one of a kind art, with brand new work, both large and small on display and on sale especially for this event.

There will also be several other artworks on show from my back catalogue available to purchase.

Also available exclusively on are one off merchandise pieces, including hand sprayed t-shirts, hand painted caps and tote bags.
