About 

 I am a North West based prize-winning professional artist, currently exploring the zeitgeist through urban realism and contemporary figurative paintings.

My work has been selected for exhibitions throughout the UK. I have been shortlisted twice by Artists & Illustrators, the UK’s leading art magazine, for ‘Artist of the Year’ and, in 2018, had a solo show at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery. In 2020, I was selected for the John Moores Painting Prize, the equivalent of receiving an Oscar nomination in the art world.

I am an elected member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts (MAFA), the Contemporary British Portrait Painters (CBPP) and Castlefield Gallery Associates. I take on commissioned portraits and have written a ‘Guide to Commissioning a Portrait’ that I would be happy to send you.

I am represented in Manchester by Saul Hay Gallery, in York by According to McGee and in Stoke-on-Trent by Barewall Gallery.
