Services offered
I am a multi-disciplinary artist and designer specialising in unique and thought-provoking fine art illustration and commercial design. I studied painting at Norwich School of Art and Design, received the Noel Spencer Prize for drawing in 2007 and have exhibited work at shows in London, Amsterdam and The Cotswolds. In recent years, I have undertaken more professional illustration, branding and design projects, including digital and web design for commercial and charitable organisations.
My lifelong passion is for conceptual design and illustration – I am particularly drawn to figurative work, caricature and natural themes. My work has embraced a broad range of styles, from formal, Classical design through to expressionistic or abstract contemporary practice. I am always looking for ways to express my very British sense of humour, to uplift and surprise my audience and to share my unique view of the world through my work.
