We don’t remember days, we remember moments…
I was commissioned by a lovely couple to create a 2-part mural inside their home that would capture key moments in their lives. A representation of what’s so important to them, and for them to cherish for a long time to come.
The mural is featured on their stairwell overlooking the garden, and after talking it through, we agreed on the idea of branches from a tree cascading in through the window with each individual memory being supported by them. The thought behind it, “Life and Growth”.
I create wall murals and canvas art, as well as undertaking commercial marketing projects. They are all about escapism and the freedom to explore. I love creating something out of nothing.
My mural clients range from advertising agencies to home commissions, whilst through my marketing projects I’ve been fortunate enough to work with The Royal British Legion, Samsung, Asda, Ocado, Canon and Wejo, amongst others.
My canvas art brings different realities together, combining themes that are worlds apart. Yet, when interlinked, they deliver a unique narrative. This synthesis of opposing ideas can reflect my feelings, my reaction to a specific object, what’s happening to me in the moment or what’s going on in the wider world.
I have two distinct styles – one a contemporary crosshatch style which gives me meticulous control of the detail, and the other a bolder, simplified line-work approach that suits a different type of storytelling. I tend to work in black and white, sometimes adding a limited colour palette to help enhance a key part of the story.
