My work is a head-on collision between meticulous realism and total visual chaos. I capture the raw, eccentric character of each animal their quirks, smirks, and defiance then drop them into high-octane worlds of neon polka dots and bold graphic patterns.

About me
I've always been drawn to the moment an animal looks back at you, that flash of personality, defiance, or pure mischief behind their eyes. My work tries to catch that moment and hold it still.
I work primarily in acrylics, combining painstaking realist technique with bold, pattern-driven backgrounds that push the portrait somewhere unexpected. Based in Berkshire, my work has been shown at The Base Gallery Greenham, Kensington Metropole, Art in the Park, and various Open Studios events across the south of England.

Whether it's a commission of a beloved pet or a piece from my current series, I want every painting to feel alive, like the subject is sizing you up just as much as you're looking at them.
