Bio

“I’m an artist originally from Croydon with a long history of making marks in unexpected places. From childhood, when chalk and mischief went hand in hand with suspension from school for using chalk to ‘damage property’, to my post‑school years spent working in toilet showrooms, bed shops, and the Tube..

​

The path to painting wasn’t straight: life and addiction intervened and it took time to dismantle the walls. When it finally crumbled, I discovered that art could carry all of my experiences—good, bad, and absurd—without explanation or excuse.​

​

I’m drawn to artists who revel in mark‑making, ambiguity and personal trauma— Tracey Emin,Twombly, Krasner, Fadojutimi,  Crews‑Chubb, Cecily Brown, Eddie Martinez—and to works that reveal themselves slowly. I’d rather a viewer bring their own history to the work than be told what to see; the paintings are there to spark connections and questions. 

​

My art celebrates the act of making itself: inviting anyone who encounters it to find their own story within it.​ With my recent set of work, I’ve been reflecting on the political and economic landscape around me alongside the way we react as artists and our own personal contradictions.
