Artist’s Profile
Art Background
In 2007, following a career in the City, I graduated as a mature student with 1st Class Honours in Fine Art from Birmingham Institute of Art and Design, University of Central England (now Birmingham City University, “BCU”).
In addition to my art practice, between 2007 and 2009, I lectured in Art and Critical Theory at Warwickshire College in conjunction with BCU’s BA Degree in Fine Art.
My work has been exhibited in Galleries in Stroud, Bristol and London and sold at art fairs in London and New York. I work out of studio space in Bristol. I currently have no formal gallery association.
