I was born in 1969 in the South East of England. As long as I can remember I have always had a creative streak; drawing and designing from a very early age.
I attended Herriot Watt University in Scotland where
I studied textiles and fashion. This led me to my interest in abstract work which I became more and more involved in. I began to design work incorporating heavy texture using materials such as gold and silver leaf. My use of colour at the time lent itself to the advent of the interior design boom of the early 2000’s and my work began to sell in large quantities worldwide.
I have always previously been keen to develop my work by fusing certain qualities of my abstract work into real life imagery.
