About 

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

My work has been selected for exhibitions throughout the UK and is in both private and public collections. 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.
