When I was eight years old I suddenly realized the only thing I ever wanted to be was an artist. After Art College in Kent I worked in advertising for a long time then took up illustrating children’s books which I still do but most of all I’ve always enjoyed painting of all kinds. I’m constantly going in new directions using oils, inks, acrylic, watercolour and sometimes my fingers!

I have an exhibition, Newham Spins at The Hub 123 Star Lane which has been running since January 2016 and a paid residency at the Expo in the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park which ran for two years.
