I am a professionally trained artist from the prestigious Slade School of Fine Art in London where I obtained my Bachelor of Arts Degree in Fine Art Practice, History and Philosophy. I furthered my Art History and Business career at Harvard University, and then at Sotheby's Institute of Art where I gained a First Class Master's in Art Business, before working at Sotheby's Auction House selling the world's most exclusive and valuable paintings. As a consultant I specialise in Contemporary Painting, Sculpture & Photography, Impressionist Painting & Sculpture, Modern British Art and 19th, 20th Century Photography.
I make all frames and stretch my own canvases which allows for bespoke sizing to fit any space. My preferred medium is acrylic as it lends itself to versatility. I enjoy building textures to create painterly effects such as thick paint smears, oozes of colour and brushstroke marks which take your eyes for a wander. I enjoy large scale paintings which involves full body movements- capturing the kinetic aspects of a performance and action painting.
Having spent most of my career surrounded by and in close contact with works by the 'greats', I have built quite the visual encyclopedia from which to draw inspiration from.
I am drawn to producing large scale pieces that invite heavy mark making. I find this immerses the viewer and this is something I am to achieve. Recurrent themes in my portfolio is landscapes, skyscapes, and the natural world. I find many conceptual undertones can be captured in these themes, and find that abstraction works well here alongside the movement of mark I try to encapsulate.
I also enjoy working from a specification which is how this business was born. I take my foundational influences from artists which capture texture and movement such as Jackson Pollock, Maggi Hambling, Francis Bacon, Jenny Saville, and Frank Auerbach.
