Artist Statement

I create artworks for a variety of settings including healthcare, civic spaces, churches and schools and create illustrations for children's literature, heritage trails, fabrics and children's hospital wards. Since 2005, I have completed over 40 art projects and have been honoured with a number of national design awards including the Society for British Interior Design Awards and the Building Better Healthcare Awards.

Much of my public practice is for the healthcare sector. I have been passionate about the power of art in healthcare environments to provide positive distractions for patients since my own recovery from cancer when I was 20.

Whatever the material or subject, my style always has its roots in hand drawn imagery to create striking graphics, delicate line drawings, charming illustrations or quirky repeat patterns.

I live in the beautiful city of York with my wife and family, combining my work with bringing up our 3 children, who have taught me more than I could ever learn in business!
