About 

I am a prize-winning professional artist, currently exploring the zeitgeist through contemporary portraiture and urban landscapes.

My work has been selected for exhibitions throughout the UK and is held in both private and public collections. I have been shortlisted twice for ‘Artist of the Year’ by the country's leading art magazine. In 2018, I had a solo show at Warrington Museum & Art Gallery and, in 2020, I was selected for the John Moores Painting Prize, Britain's foremost contemporary painting competition.

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 for free.

In addition to being a practising artist, I am also the archivist of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts and deliver art talks to groups and schools.

I am represented in Manchester by Saul Hay Gallery, in Hertfordshire by Sinclair Gallery, in Cheshire by Blue and Berry Art Gallery, in York by According to McGee and in Stoke-on-Trent by Barewall Gallery.
