I'm an abstract figurative artist based in London, working with acrylics on canvas to produce paintings that ask us to reflect on how we position ourselves in relation to others. They explore the themes of bravery, vulnerability, transition and performance. 

​

I tend to start with chaos on a canvas. Wonderful, messy and unpredictable. From there, I bring the piece into focus, often using figures, denser layers of paint and embracing what could be considered mistakes. In fact, I find that deviations from my intended line or composition produce my most organic and exciting work.

My interest in abstraction led me to enrol in Sash Agar's Abstract Painting class at Morley College of Art. Later, I joined City Lit's Contemporary Painting Studio under the tutelage of Lucinda Oestreicher where I began to discover my creative voice and the confidence to start honing my style.  I'm now a proud member of the

Visual Artists Association.​

​

Outside of painting, I have two decades of acting experience under my belt and I draw from my theatre and film work when I paint. Not only from a visual point of view - the composition of a frame, how light and colour influence an audience's mood - but also from an emotional perspective. I try to carry the actor's prerogative to play, experiment and dare into every work I create. My acting work is all about story-telling and I hope that my paintings help the viewer to experience their own story, be it a trip into themselves or beyond to another world.  ​

 

After training at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School, I performed for the National Theatre of Great Britain, joined international tours and West End shows. With various screen credits to my name, I'm perhaps best known for playing Isaac in Seth Macfarlane's science fiction series The Orville for Disney+.​ For more about my acting, check out my acting Instagram or IMDb.
