As a Yorkshire-based artist, I immerse myself in the exploration of urban townscapes through painting. I draw inspiration from moments of “dead time” like being stuck in traffic or caught in gridlock. In these seemingly futile and stressful situations, I observe the world, capturing the essence of these fleeting moments through my art.

I work intuitively with oil paint, building up layer after layer and selectively scraping back, constantly moving forward and refining the work. My paintings become a space of convergence and divergence, sliding between realism and abstraction.

I’ve had the opportunity to exhibit my work in various open and group exhibitions, including Contemporary Six’s ‘Coalescence’, Mercer Open, Leeds Summer Show, and the Old Parcels Office in Scarborough. Recently, I’ve become an associate member of the Manchester Academy of Fine Arts.
