Born 1989 Studied Fine Art at the University of Derby (2009-2012) , where I developed my interest in exhibiting nostalgia in my work, drawing on the instinctual and often obsessive nature of creativity in childhood. These links and images will take you through the development of my university work and the transition into the professional art world.

“We spend the first year of a child’s life teaching it to walk and talk and the rest of its life to shut up and sit down.” - Neil DeGrasse Tyson

I think that this is very relevant to our approach to creative flare in children. Often we discourage certain actions because they are messy, loud or simply unusual. As an artist I want to reignite that fearless ingenuity, based on my own personal childhood.
