I completed a BA Fine Art (Hons) degree at Middlesex University in 1996. My work during the degree was a mixture of painting and video. After my degree I travelled, living in Sydney for six months and Los Angeles for four years, where I worked in film post production picture and sound editing departments.

Since returning to London in 2002, I have worked as a web and graphic designer, but also spend time each year painting at the Cyprus College of Art. I am currently producing new work from my studio at Bow Arts Trust. My intentions are to exhibit my work and continue pursuing art as a career focus.

I had a painting accepted for the 2009 Threadneedle Prize exhibition. I have also recently had a painting shown at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists' gallery and have previously been shortlisted for the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition.

I will have a show of Chernobyl paintings at the Malt Cross Gallery in Nottingham in April 2011, supporting the Chernobyl Children's Life Line charity.
