Artist CV and Artist Statement
Artist Statement
I am a self taught fine art photographer and have been creating thought provoking and metaphorical imagery for over a decade.
For many years, I created fine art conceptual photographic imagery for the book cover market, building a large portfolio of creative digital artwork which has been published globally. Working within this industry allowed me to grow creatively and be experimental with my photography and my digital work.
My artworks are both photographic and mixed digital media and I love to work in a wide range of genres - I don’t want to feel fettered by subject matter. My artwork reflects my love of colour, mood and metaphor, sometimes delving into the darker underbelly that I love to work with but also at times seeking to capture and create images with an ethereal, painterly quality.
I have exhibited and showed extensively as a photographic artist in the UK including solos shows and group exhibitions as shown in my bio below. I currently have work on exhibition throughout 2023 in two central London locations and in Paris. I regularly participate in The Other Art Fair in London and I have other exhibitions planned including one starting in London with Morgan Davies Art in November 2023.
My artwork is held in private collections both in the UK and overseas. I am represented by several art galleries, both physical and online, in London and the UK. My artwork has also been bought by interior designers and art consultancies in the UK and overseas for private client projects and larger projects including the Nobu hotel in Miami, the Virgin boutique hotel in Edinburgh and a boutique hotel in Dallas.
My work is now held in private collections in the UK, Europe, Japan and the USA.
