I am a UK based artist, creating abstract paintings of our Universe. Capturing its infinite majesty and beauty in my work. Most of my inspiration is drawn from the beautiful images captures by Hubble, and other telescopes on and in orbit around Earth. When I look at these images, I'm reminded just how small we all are, when compared the grand scale of the Universe. Every moment I spend painting, I feel at one with nature, as if I'm being driven to create them. Now, while that does make sound mad, I can assure you, that is not the case (most of the time). Like Authors get pleasure from writing, and musicians get pleasure from creating music, I get the same from painting.

I've always been fascinated by Space, the Universe, and Nature as a whole, from a very young age. What really inspires me, is the sheer size of it all. The fact that each of us, is nothing more than a quantum crack, in a huge glass empire. It's sobering to think that we are here by pure chance. If Earth just a little closer, or just a little further away from the Sun, life would not have been possible on our planet. It's even more sobering to think, that at any moment, it could all just stop. We could be obliterated in a split second, and no one would even notice...
