Artistic background

Award winning international artist and art patron. Alongside my art I also own an independent artist gallery in Angmering West Sussex and another gallery in Watamu Kenya. My studio is also in Angmering just above the gallery. In 2026 I will be open a pop up gallery in Mayfair, London.

My background is English, Kenyan, Norwegian. I studied art at school, college & then an art & design degree at Lincoln University. I later acquired my PGCE in art, design & media at Brighton University to inspire other artists.

The desire to become a full time professional artist was more recent & personal. I wanted to create my own brand of hand made textured art that also incorporated traditional oil painting techniques. My concept is ‘Sense of Place’. I take places I’ve been, people I’ve met, books I’ve read & create modern textured artwork.

I work mainly in oils using brush & palette knives. Influenced by Turners underpainting technique to create illuminating light from within the painting, then fuse it with a textured base for a contemporary twist. The works on here have been featured in House & garden & have been exhibited at Goodwood, Kensington Art Fair & Art Basel in San Fransisco.

Some of my work supports certain charities and organisations like Mariposa, Knepp Rewilding Estate and Oceans Alive.

Quote

It’s easy to paint a pretty picture, but if you are able to capture your subjects emotional depth and translate it to the viewer only then does it become art.

Interests

I love all kinds of art and enjoy live music. Travelling and exploring new cultures and places has always been important to me. Swimming, reading old adventure books, pottery & tennis are also up there as my favourite things to do when I’m not in the studio.
