Artist | Printmaker | Grocer
 

One of the most challenging things about my art is choosing the fruit! Grocery shopping has never been quite the same since I began to search out the most engaging 'models' for my paintings and prints.

I’m a London-based painter and printmaker with a fascination for light, nature and scale. Born in Chelsea, I studied art and design at Wimbledon School of Art and the London College of Printing and lived in Singapore and Hong Kong for a while, where I also studied Chinese calligraphy. I regard all my subjects as portraits, whether flora or fauna, exploring the character behind each model, be it the figure-like shape of pears that exude human qualities, the secret of an unopened lily, or the curiosity and cheekiness of a bird.

My work is typically playful and characterised by graphic interpretations and bold colours that marry perfectly with the medium of silkscreen printing. I often work with variable printing techniques, using stencils and painting directly onto silk screens in many layers to create depth and texture. This also results in each print within a series being slightly different.

My recent series of screenprints takes the theme of cakes. Exploring an array of exquisite shapes, rich colours and lush textures, each print is cooked-up with a large dollop of fun, a dash of nostalgia, and all with no added sugar!
