Statement

Born In Sheffield, South Yorkshire, England.
Lives And Works In Edinburgh, Scotland.

I produce vibrant works on paper and wood in neo-expressionist and outsider styles. Intense and energetic, rich in vivid colour and heavily covered in text, stencils and bursts of texture, the works are primarily concerned with a universal experience filtered through my life.

Whilst the majority of work evidently references pop culture and outsider art, I have successfully developed a language of my own.

I have travelled fairly extensively and this directly influences my work — the colours of New Orleans, the Caribbean and Malaysia, and the urban landscapes of New York, Paris and Moscow... My work has no set agenda, theme or subject matter — it is informed by what I am passionate about — how I respond to what I see and hear around me... I try to find beauty in the ordinary, in the mundane, in the over-looked, and in what is commonly regarded as ugly... I am also scathing of what I see as unfair, cruel and brutal in the world.

Some things that I like and that may have inspired me...
