A word writes a thousand pictures...
Find something new everytime you look...
I enjoy creating simple yet detailed artworks, combining words and images to tell a story. My aim is to use my unique artistic style to communicate my life observations and share thought provoking themes.
​
I also explore political and philosophical ideas and take inspiration from books and other creators. My aim for every artwork I create is that every time you look at it, you will find something new. A gift that keeps giving.
I hope you enjoy looking at the artworks. Feel free to email me with any feedback.

The Animas Collection (2025)
I moved to Prague in May 2025 and this gave me the time, space and opportunity to create artworks again.
One day I drew a cartoon-like image of a dolphin and built an artwork around this theme and this this is where this collection begun. It contains dedications to our favourite pets, Dogs and Cats, a land animal - Th e Elephant, Air - the Owl and the Dolphin which represents the sea. The final piece in the series is "Touch the Spririt" which includes a random set of different animals.
​
Animism is the belief that living creatures all possess a distinct spiritual essence or soul. It is not a single organised religion but an encompassing concept or worldview found in many indigenous cultures and influencing major religions. My aim was to highlight the spiritual essence of each of the animals featured but to also make the animals appear fun, welcoming and cute!

Zodiartistry (2015)
I am fascinated by zodiac signs. How can it be that the time of year you are born determines the primary characteristics your personality had. I produced this collection as Christmas gifts to friends, family and clients and time and time again the zodiac characteristics reflected their personality traits. What star sign are you? Do the zodiac chacteristics represent you? Find your zodiac sign below to find out.

​
Born and raised in East London, I am a self-taught artist producing artworks in my unique style since 1997.
My artworks were first a therapeutic outlet, a safe ground to express my innermost thoughts and feelings. After moving to Edinburgh in 2009, I developed themes for pieces based around life observations and political subjects.. I next began taking commissions from individuals looking for special gifts for loved ones.
To refine my style and technique, I spent a year creating "Exercisations" - a collection of 52 fitness themed illustrtions. I next began taking commissions from individuals and businesses.
In September 2013, I was announced winner of the contemporary art category for "The Continents" at The Master of Art International, with work exhibited and the award collected in East London. My proudest moment to date.
I hope you enjoy looking at my artworks. Feel free to get in contact at any time.
