I started my creative journey back in 2015, something I had always longed to do but never finding the time.

Mainly self-taught apart from a weekend workshop and some online courses I feel I have the freedom to create, play and push the boundaries with the different materials to express what inspires me at the time, whether it's in my abstract landscapes, purely abstract works, textured works or something more structured. Travel and nature are great influences on my work.
