Bio.

Multidisciplinary artist working in Portraiture, exploring both traditional and non-traditional representations of people. Sheffield /Colchester, UK based.

I'm an artist from Sheffield currently based in Colchester, UK with a background in Architecture. Primarily I started off as a painter using acrylics and watercolours to capture people and life and It was during my time at University I started exploring Portraiture through other mediums and creative disciplines such as exploring portraiture through architecture.

What interests me the most around portraiture is the complex nature of identity, representation, and the attachments we have as people to life, objects, and places.

 

I now work across multiple mediums such as paint, photography, sketching and installation to create art around people, portraiture, as well as painting all aspects of life such as nature, wildlife and places..
