It’s safe to say I ran from the constraints of the Norf/Sarf divide - to avoid becoming the next insignificant character of a Shane Meadow’s ‘This is England’ sequel - yet, art became my solace once returning to my roots in the Midlands.
Often gestural, I paint what I wish I’d said in the moment, but just wasn’t quick enough to spit out at the time. Hitting the nail on the head of modern day relationships, the stark reality of denial dating culture and opening the door for you to admit, that maybe yes, your partner is a bit of a tosser.
Intelligently wounded and not afraid to expose myself to the world, I find sweetness in the bitterness. Observing the highs, lows and late night feelings to create works that laugh in the face of love with a male-esque audacity.
I’m here for the ones who love recklessly, play with fire, get burnt and yet repeat the cycle shamelessly. A tongue-in-cheek approach to lifelong commitment and voicing that if you’re gonna bind your soul to another forever, at least have a good effin’ laugh about it!

Over 150+ artists came together to ‘censor’ my tits in their own style, making a statement about censorship & sticking two fingers at a society that frowns hypocritically at the female form.

Sex is cool but...
We all have sex, yet the UK has this stiff upper lip attitude towards going down on those kinda lips. Let’s talk about sex baby… and ultimately the ONE thing you’d pick over it anyday.
