I am an artist living and working in Sunderland. My work is a celebration of nostalgia, play, and the tactile joy of oil paint. More recently I have been enjoying the simple technique of pen and ink within my work.

While my artistic background is rooted in strict realist portraiture, my current practice focuses on a lifelong, healthy obsession with retro toys, contemporary collectibles, and the iconic imagery of classic children's television from years gone by, cartoons, and Lego minifigures with a healthy obsession with Lego Stormtroopers. By taking these tiny, pocket-sized icons of our collective history and placing them on canvas, my aim is to give them their ultimate moment in the spotlight. The goal is to unlock a flood of childhood memories for the viewer, creating art that fundamentally makes people smile.

The playful, textured style of my work has captured the attention of collectors worldwide, leading to my work being acquired for international hotel collections as well as private homes. My studio and home function as living archives—filled with vintage toys, classic animation references, and ever-growing collections of figures that continuously fuel my visual dialogue with the past.
