Artist Statement:
I create vibrant, utopian worlds and invite the viewer to spend some time living in them. The majority of my work is created unplanned and I always work by hand. I like to move my art in new directions regularly, but subjects I am always drawn back to paint include people, animals, landscapes and cityscapes. In 2016, I was named by The Telegraph (UK) as one of five 'British Artists To Invest In'. In 2017 I exhibited in the UK and across Europe, as well as being the 'Bestselling British Artist of The Year' on Artfinder. In 2018 I was awarded an Arts Council grant to develop work in the public domain, which culminated in a series of outdoor art installations both permanent and temporary.
