My journey as an artist started at primary school when I first drew half of a human face depicted on an advertising poster.

Since then, I have always been passionate about faces, particularly the eyes, and this has remained the main focus of my work, whether I am depicting humans or animals. I embrace the well-known phrase that the “eyes are the window to the soul”. There is no other part of the body that allows one to capture such a sense of feeling and emotion.

Initially, I taught myself how to draw using basic student grade paper and pencils.

However, my passion to depict fine detail, which has become intrinsic to my work, led me to work in colour and to experiment with subjects.

Vivid colours and textures, as well as dramatic compositions, are the distinctive features of my work, which I endeavour to achieve in all of my pieces.

For the past two years running, my works have been selected by the Pastel Society, the Society of Graphic Fine art and the Coloured Pencil Society UK for their Annual Exhibitions at the Mall Galleries in London. In December 2022, two of my Household Cavalry Horses won the first and second prizes in the Best International Coloured Pencil Artist category at the Equus Film and Art Festival in Sacramento CA. Two of my paintings have been also selected by The Chelsea Art Society for their annual exhibition in June this year. In October, my drawing of ‘Drinking with Giants, The Adams Family’ was published in CP Treasure Vol 9 book which selected the best 100 coloured pencils artists in the word.

I work with galleries across the UK which allows me to explore the current market.
I am highly self-motivated and always very eager to learn new techniques and disciplines. I am hugely inspired by fellow artists and nature. I love how textures and colours, in combination with light, create uniquely soulful subjects and images, which can never be repeated having been captured at a fleeting moment in time. I’ve always had passion for architecture and design and it is something I would love to explore.
