ABOUT
I have always worked in the creative industries - music, film, art. After leaving university I first started at Universal Music, then Warner Music - before spending almost ten years at Warner Bros. Pictures as Brand Partnerships Manager, promoting and establishing partnerships between film releases and brand partners.
It was a seismic life event in 2010 led me to pursue my my life-long passion for art. As well as learning and developing my own practice - which I did at Central St Martins and the London Print Studio - I sought out collaborations with other artists, as well as curating and producing a number of large-scale exhibitions at venues including Somerset House, Saatchi Gallery, Mall Galleries, Camden Market and the Jazz Cafe in London; Leeds Dock; and the Hyundai Gallery in Seoul, South Korea.
In 2016, I produced an exhibition bringing together 69 artists and musicians inspired by the work of the late filmmaker Stanley Kubrick, which I produced in conjunction with the Kubrick Estate and Warner Bros. Pictures, as well as partners such as the British Film Institute (BFI) and the headline sponsor Canon. The exhibtion had almost 50,000 ticketed visitors and was described as '
In 2022, I produced an immersive show at the Hyundai Gallery, Seoul, South Korea which had 80,000 ticketed visitors despite Covid restrictions still being in place.
As well as producing exhibitions, I also manage and represent a mural artist creating commissions across city centres and for brands and publicity launches.
With this artist and our team, I have produced mural events at locations across the UK - including the Natural History Museum, South Bank, Covent Garden, GCHQ - and all over the world, in cities from New York, Los Angeles, Toronto, Paris, Frankfurt, Milan, Copenhagan, Singapore and Sydney to name but a few!
My chosen medium is painting and silk-screen printing, where I create original hand-pulled prints. London Print Studio 2010 - 2020 - And Now Print Room Studio in Walford Mill, Wimborne.
As an artist and printmaker, I paint I take inspiration from the world around me - in particular the shapes and textures of the natural world where I now live in Dorset. My creative work celebrates Dorset’s unique natural habitat - from the huge variety of plant and flower species, trees, rolling chalk cliffs and ever-changing seas - the Jurassic Coast is a World Heritage Site which provides inspiration all year round.

and I create hand-made silkscreen original prints at Walford Mill Crafts - a home for artists, designers and makers in a grade II listed mill less than four miles from Farrow & Ball HQ in Wimborne.
I always try and use sustainable methods in my practice and collaborate with local artists, printmakers, practitioners and suppliers to limit my carbon footprint and support the local creative economy. Through my practices, I hope to inspire people to learn more about this beautiful part of the world where I am now lucky enough to live.
I am always excited by new new challenges and projects that inspire me
