For decades, my world was defined by the processes, strict logic and structures of corporate IT finance. Completely out of the blue, a sudden series of life-threatening strokes and heart attacks instantly changed everything. Confronted with how quickly life can alter, I walked away from the corporate boardroom and onto a completely blank canvas.

​

That profound wake-up call taught me a vital lesson: time is finite, and true creative expression shouldn't be boxed in.

Today, working from my studio in Cheshire, I deliberately refuse to confine myself to just one artistic movement. My work spans the raw emotion of Abstract art, the dreamscape logic of Surrealism, and the intimate character of Portraiture and Figurative oil paintings. By studying the light of master painters like Vermeer and bending the rules of 20th-century modernists, I paint with a deep hunger to explore every corner of the visual language.

 

Every original oil painting I create is a celebration of that hard-won freedom—an invitation to step out of the daily routine and experience the world with unrestrained curiosity.
