About me

I am a professional multidisciplinary artist and musician who lives & works in Liverpool. 

who i am & what i do

my artistic practice is made up of painting, drawing, photography, design, music, organising exhibitions, performance, writing and facilitating workshops.

i have a degree in fine art and i regularly, paint, draw, take photographs and exhibit my own visual artwork. i also play regular gigs in and around liverpool.

i am passionate about life, all things creative and about changing things for the better. i photograph, draw & paint everyday objects such as things that you find on a table or in the bathroom or rusty objects or flowers when i walk past them on the street. i try to highlight things that jump out at me other people may not notice.

i strive to bring out the beauty in whatever I create whilst hopefully quite often making people think. and there is beauty everywhere if you look for it. i have lived in various places across england, wales, italy & america and i have moved over 30 times in my life.

i have been around art, music, design & performance all of my life and was encouraged to question everything from an early age. pretty much all of my close family are creative in some way.

i am open-minded and generally not surprised or shocked by much. i’m not a fan of labels when it comes to race, gender, sexuality or mental health and you won’t find it easy to put me in a box.

i am hard-working, dynamic, interested, passionate and engaged in what I do.
