A bit about me. he grew up round Teddington and Twickenham, my family were in the restaurant and ice cream business in Twickenham and Richmond areas in the 70’s and 80’s, he worked in my family business helping out for a couple of years after he left school then he decided to go into the construction industry for a couple of years but in the end it wasn’t for him so he went into doing bespoke design hardwood floors which is where his creativity came from in the 90’s right up 2020 and whilst he was working he also took a course in film photography at the Richmond Adult College in 2002 to 2003 in the evenings to learn about medium format cameras, processing and developing in the darkroom, he focused on fashion, portraits and street photography using his film cameras, some of his work was published in photography monthly and professional photographer over the years but he always wanted to do art so I finally decided to follow his passion using some of his old black & white photographs and black and white images of film stars, musician combined with his art and giving his own interpretation. He is self-taught and started doing art in 2022. All his art is bespoke.

His work represents a combination of collage, graffiti and photography expressed in mixed media styles. The significance behind each piece presents a unique form of authenticity that speaks to all ages and backgrounds. His day to day working on his art focuses on popular culture, fashion, movies, music and travel while also focusing on the process of producing innovative fine art.

He works with lots of different types of media using heavy body acrylic’s to build up textures, sprays, inks, and Film Photography.
All his work is done on canvas and wood and sealed using Liquitex glazing and professional varnish.
His goal is to bring unique pieces of fine art that everyone can connect with.
