About the Artist

I won my first artist competition when I was 5 years old. I got £100, a sit down meal with Neil Buchanon and honestly, I've been chasing that high ever since.

Some of my biggest influencers were my A-Level teachers, Simon Cunniffe and James Padgham. They taught me to get over myself and to start thinking big.  I went on to study and graduate from Central School of St Martins, University of the Arts London. 

My foundation year was principally spent experimenting with conceptual art and participating practices, I was obsessed with how easily people were persuaded. My final year at university saw me mostly in the screen printing beds, the letterpress studio and out taking photos of protests. 

I would later go on to become an activist working with XR, The Green Party and more local organisations. I worked in pubs and bars for over 10 years, loving the community and connections with other people. I then moved into politics, standing for local election for The Green Party in Islington in 2022, where I lost, 1,728 to 1,604. I worked for The Green Party, a few community centres and St John Ambulance before I decided to chase that high of my first prize win. 

In 2024 I started up shop (literally - on Etsy), and have been working away ever since. I was included in an exhibition of local artists at The Playroom, a gallery on Junction Road, N19 in May 2024. I am planning my first solo show for July 2024 and I will feature in The New Artist Fair, at the Truman Brewery in September 2024. 

My work is the sum of all parts. It's part creative, activist and community. I hope to bring my perspective of class, London and humour to the table and maybe, just maybe, sell some art.
