About the Artist

My paintings are primarily contemporary with a African-Anglo approach to bridge the gap between both cultures, although my new work contains references towards figurative work. Now that I am confident with my work I have taken art as a profession spending time researching new projects subject matter through world events mostly Africa. I get a lot of my inspiration during these periods and spend much of my time sketching, although I rarely use this information to literally translate into a painting. My work doesn’t draw reference to any particular place.
Colour, alongside texture, is the main ingredient to my work. I am particularly interested in the contrast between heavily textured areas and the very flat, serene and blended areas of paint. Many ideas for my palette stem from colours experienced in different places such as those from Africa, Germany, Switzerland and the South of England. I spend as much spare time in the countryside as I can in the summer seeking inspiration for my projects.

I get ideas for my work from everything and anything. Colours, personal experiences, structures in the city or random objects, in contrast, to more natural subject matter giving me constantly varied compositional ideas for my paintings.
