about the artist…

Both the nature of this planet and everything other worldly are key inspirations in my artwork - with abstraction, psychedelia and paganism all running through everything that I create. Within my practice I focus on visual communication, illustrating my deeply rooted passions for folklore and nature. I aim to explore how these things can connect us to both our ancient ancestors, whilst bringing thought to the modern day Earth.

When not making art I can be found foraging in forests, exploring stone circles or collecting books. As a “Sandgrown'un” (born and bred in Blackpool), I have a deep affinity for the sea and strive to enjoy the watery abyss as frequently as possible.

I’m always keen to work collaboratively, particularly anything weird and experimental - so please do get in touch!
