From Stage to Canvas: A Life in Colour

 

I’ve spent my life telling stories—on stage, on screen, and now, on canvas. My journey as an artist began in my 20s, painting local landscapes between acting jobs and selling them down the pub. As my career in film and TV grew, so did my love for painting and when my son went to university I began a  part time degree. Eight years later in 2024 I graduated with a BA (Hons) Painting from the University for the Creative Arts, London.

​

Since graduating, it’s been a whirlwind—selected for The Graduate Art Show, longlisted for the Beep Biennial Painting, Highly Commended for the Homiens Art Prize and one of 11 shortlisted artists for the prestigious RISE BY HENLEY FESTIVAL EMERGING ARTIST PRIZE., and my local art gallery Byard Art in Cambridge requesting four paintings for their Summer show.

 

On the acting side keep an eye out for me in Anemone, Daniel Day-Lewis’s return to film in October 2025, where I have a lovely two-hander scene with Samantha Morton.
