Through my work, I invite the viewer to reframe their understanding of what it is to be male and vulnerable today. I create a space in my work where the modern male is free to inhabit an almost childlike state, both removed from the expectation to be toxic and encouraged to let down his defences.​ 

​

In my Pimlico studio I tend to work quickly and organically. I often start with something resembling chaos on the canvas. Wonderful, messy and unpredictable. From this emerge landscapes or intimate spaces. I then bring the piece into focus, often using figures from found imagery or photographs I've taken of models.​

 

Layers of paint, mark making and embracing mistakes are all essential to my process. In fact, I find that deviations from my intended line or composition produce my most exciting and painterly work.

Though predominantly self taught, my interest in abstraction led me to enrol in Sash Agar's Abstract Painting class at Morley College of Art. Later, I joined the Contemporary Painting Studio at City Lit under the tutelage of Lucinda Oestreicher.​​​​​
