I am a full time professional artist based in Leeds and have been creating artwork to private collectors and commercial clients since 2006. I have drawn and painted all my life, and when the opportunity arose 2006 I put a portfolio together to exhibit and share my work. I feel extremely grateful and humble that my artwork had such a good response and I now have collectors both at home and abroad. I was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire where I still live and work. I had a love of drawing and painting from an early age, and thanks to the encouragement of my parents I was given the tools to experiment with a variety of mediums and given the inspiration from our visits to the beautiful Yorkshire countryside - where we would spend many a Sunday afternoon. My love of nature and art continued after leaving school, and I knew that was where I would like my future to lead. So at the age of 20 I trained as a Surface Pattern Designer and Colourist at Leeds College of Art and Design gaining a Btec HND. I later spent some time specialising in texture and florals at Stockport College of Art and Design. After finishing my studies I decided I would put my artistic career on hold and raise a family. I found myself in the position to paint professionally in 2006. Since then my work has continued to grown in popularity, and I am delighted and honoured to find my work selling to collectors both home and abroad. My artwork is contemporary semi abstract and inspired by nature, the landscape and flowers. My surreal abstracts and floral landscapes have become the main focus of my creativity, as I have always had a love of natures abstraction and fluidity and I strive to capture that beauty in my artwork. All my artwork is original and I use the finest quality acrylics oils and surfaces. I take commissions both private and corporate and can work to your specific size requirement and colour scheme, should you require a bespoke piece of art. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you would like further details about my artwork, or a quote for a commissioned piece.
