"I make abstract paintings grounded in research and lived experience, allowing imagination to surface what language often cannot."

My work is an ongoing investigation, a journey articulated through large-scale abstract expressionist paintings that resist easy resolution. These canvases are not illustrations or decorations; they are sites of enquiry, built slowly through layers of research, reflection, and lived experience.

Each painting is singular. I am drawn to individuals, historical moments, and psychological forces that have shaped our collective consciousness, figures and events marked by complexity, contradiction, power, and consequence.

The work does not seek to memorialise them, but to interrogate them: to test how memory, authority, and belief are constructed, obscured, or inherited.

My creative path did not follow a conventional route. It began with drawing and caricature, was profoundly shaped by time spent in Great Ormond Street Hospital, and later evolved through years of working with my hands as a locksmith, before moving into entrepreneurship.

These experiences, vulnerability, precision, risk, responsibility continue to inform both the physicality and ethics of my practice.

I do not paint to reassure, entertain, or please. Imagination, for me, is not escapism; it is a political act. My paintings engage directly with questions of identity, justice, belonging, and power, not as slogans, but as tensions held within the surface of the work. Ambiguity is deliberate. Resolution is withheld.

Alongside this practice runs a sustained commitment to charitable engagement, particularly supporting sick children, addressing hunger, and responding to homelessness. A significant portion of my creative work is directed toward these causes, not as an adjunct to the art, but as an extension of its responsibility.

Ultimately, my work argues that art’s highest function lies beyond popularity or consensus. It exists to unsettle, to question, and to remind us that imagination, when exercised honestly, carries both consequence and care.
