I've just finished the three-month group show "little lights" curated by Nico Kos Earl and Katie Heller at Paul Smith space, Mayfair. In June I'm delighted to be showing in the exhibition, "Buzz and Hum and Wing and Song," with Tin Man Art, curated by founder James Elwes. I originally studied art foundation at Winchester School of Art, but then completed an English degree, the latter which greatly influences my work. In 2010, I achieved three months at the Royal Drawing School. I've also had two years mentoring at Turps (23-25), the former under John Moores winner Sarah Pickstone, the latter under Scott McCracken. My art has hung at many British institutions alongside established artists, including The Shard, Hastings Museum, and Sunderland Museum and Winter Gardens. It has also been sold in various auctions including Art on a Postcard and The Auction Collective.A highlight last year was conducting a painting workshop at Jane Austen's House in Chawton, taking inspiration from the foliage and fecundity of her garden with ten students. I currently have three paintings at the Ashurst Collection in Spitalfields. Last year, I attended the Cel del Nord residency in Catalonia producing a body of work now with AucArt, the global auctioneers. I've also received tutelage with the New Platform Art professional development programme, Royal Drawing School and Turps Banana Art School. I've two children, Delphine and Sid, many hens, fantail doves and various other animals, all of which inform my work.
