I am a self-taught British artist who suffers from depression and OCD. I have exhibited my work in the USA, Canada and throughout the United Kingdom.
My work is influenced by the nature of my emotions and my environment, both directly affected by my mental illness.
I love the interplay between colour and light, and the perceived and non-perceived worlds. My dreams are also a vivid source of inspiration, those twilight-zone scenarios where reality and fantasy become intertwined. Emotional expression is key in all of my works.
