Artists Exhibiting At Our London Art Fair

Bio:

The discipline of drawing was brought to me at a very young age, watching my mother and elder brother set the benchmark for me. I remember drawing fairly well from age seven and I maintained a steady development through school but it was a little later in my teens where I became attached to it.

I paint in a style inspired by classic portrait artists like Freud and Jenny Saville. I was inspired to paint by acclaimed artist, Paul Wright. He presented his work when visiting my college when I was 16 and it gave me an approach to painting that I have never let go of. I went on to attend his workshop at the City Gallery in Leicester and during University I was fortunate enough to organise a one week residency with him in his studio. My true love for painting came from doing my foundation diploma where my chosen pathway was to understand the essence of human form through portrait painting; the study of identity began here. My mark-making style developed at university, but I found my true personal style more recently, experimenting on my own.
