I grew up on an arable farm in Cambridgeshire, which has had a huge inspiration for much of my artwork today. With a keen interest in my farming background, I gained a degree in Rural Enterprise & Land Management from Harper Adams University in 2013.

It was my intention to pursue a career in land management, however in November 2013 I was given the opportunity to undertake an 11 month internship with figurative painter James Gillick. Within this period I learnt the art of traditional oil painting, making most of the materials by hand using techniques dating back to the 17th century. With this, grew an appreciation towards the techniques and materials used to create an individual masterpiece and so my career as an artist was born.​

​

Having built up my career in Cambridgeshire for the last 9 years, in January 2023 I took a huge leap and moved to the highlands of Scotland, where my partner lives. I now spend most of my days in the studio with my Jack Russell, Percy, or out and about exploring.
