About the artist

Art has been my passion for as long as I can remember. Born in the 80s I spent much of my time as a child drawing, painting and creating and this was greatly encouraged by my parents.

In education I was drawn towards artistic subjects. However, I never truly considered a career as an artist. As such I went on to work in Design Engineering.

Then in 2019 my wife Kayleigh asked me to paint her something for our newly decorated living room. I have always been drawn to towards wildlife art but at that point, it was something I had done little of. I decided to paint a large lion with an abstract blue background. The contrast between realism and abstract hooked me and has been a big part of my work ever since.

From that first painting I have had a renewed vigor and increased focus for producing stylish and contemporary art whilst trying to develop my technical ability and unique style.

I hope you enjoy.
