I'm just a Yorkshireman who's mad about colour.

 

But I’m based in Cambridge these days, without a valley in sight. 

​

I graduated from the University for the Creative Arts with an Upper Second Class (2:1) BA Hons Painting in 2024. ​​

Artist Statement

​

My subject is joy... I want my paintings to go out into the world and make your soul sing. I work directly onto the canvas creating a visual villanelle or colour symphony. My work has structure, it is composed, but it is also free and in the moment. 

​

I 'see' colour as a material to be sculpted into subconscious meaning. Colour is physical, visceral, and ever changing.
