EDUCATION
I graduated from Liverpool John Moore’s University with a BA Hons (1st class) in Fine Art in 2005, followed by a one-year Fellowship at Wirral Metropolitan College in 2006. During this time, I showcased an extensive collection of my work in an exhibition at the Williamson Art Gallery. Subsequently, I pursued further studies with an MA in Art as Environment at Miriad, Manchester Metropolitan University.
My artistic journey has evolved over the years, encompassing various disciplines such as sculpture, new media, drawing, installation, and, more recently, painting within the landscape itself. My passion for art initially revolved around the skill of transforming ideas and materials presenting artworks that stimulate further dialogue. However, what interests me now is the desire to delve deeper into contemporary abstract painting.
