I have been an artist now for 15 years, selling and exhibiting my paintings. I crafted my skills through my BA Hons Fine Art Degree from Southampton Solent University.

​

I live with the mental health illness bipolar disorder (severe changes in mood), as well as living with a neurological disorder called FND (functional neurological disorder). Producing artwork has always acted as therapy for me for both of these conditions.

​

Painting allows me to escape my mental illness and express how I feel, which enables me to feel more balanced and in more control of the illness. Painting also helps with the neurological disorder as it calms down the symptoms I experience, which include muscle tremors, issues with speech, issues with balance, and muscle weakness. All in all, I would be lost without my artwork!

 

I think my artwork shows both of these conditions I live with, in terms of the contrasting styles and colours, as well as the fascination I have with line and shape. I also produce photography and try to create photographs that share characteristics with my style of painting.

 

I am always happy to take on new commissions, so if you have something in mind that you feel I could put my stamp on then get in touch!
