"I love the challenge of bringing so many different artistic disciplines together to create a finished piece that allows the viewer to step into a world that is familiar, yet somehow beautiful and unexpected”

I create art because...

It's what I'm meant to do - nothing else satisfies my soul like creating something that didn't exist.

I am different to most artists because...

My technique combines many different artistic disciplines: I start with photography, which then leads into photo manipulation and digital creation. From there I hand cut each layer of the stencil before spray painting. Then I finish each piece with hand painted details so that each painting is totally unique. I quite often stretch my own canvases and when required, also do my own framing.

When you look at my art, the thing I want you to feel is...

A connection. Either to a place, time or feeling, or ideally - all of them at once!

The thing I most want to say to non-artists is...

Buying original art is the best way to express your personality - line your walls with something that means something to you and you will gain endless pleasure every time you look at it!

I believe art is an important part of our lives because...

The world would be very dull without it, and it is an essential link to our souls.
