About the Artist
I have had an interest in art from a very young age. My main passion as a child was comic books and I loved to create my own characters. From school I went to Stafford college to study art and from there I went to Portsmouth University where I studied Illustration.
After graduating from University I dabbled in many careers. One of my first jobs was to design and install the characters you see in the "Wacky Warehouses" across the country.
More recently I have been working with training providers, helping those young people without qualifications to get into further education, employment or training. In this job I used my creativity to develop self awareness through art therapy. I also spruced up the communal area for them with this design:

Now I am focusing on what I enjoy most, creating customised artwork. From designing and installing murals to customising leather jackets. So please check out the gallery and remember everything is hand painted and designed to the customers requirements. Look forward to meeting you soon.
