2025

I disappeared for a bit—2 years, to be exact. Not for a spiritual awakening or a glamorous sabbatical, but to pour every penny I had (and plenty I didn’t) into bricks, beams and a roof I now call home. Cue DIY disasters, emotional breakdowns and the romantic thrill of being one flat tyre away from broke..

Once a full-time party gremlin, I’ve done a complete 180. These days I’m stomping in my muddy boots in the garden rather than Glasto, thinking I’m in a Jilly Cooper novel when in fact I’ve just got horse shite splashed up my legs.

Somewhere along the way, I found my inner child again. The old me would’ve scoffed, but boring has become my beautiful. There’s something quite magic about it.

I still paint, messily and madly, when the mood hits and somewhere along the way, that turned from escapism into love again. But the mortgage and vet fees don’t pay themselves, so you’ll find me working in Marketing (PEEP Creative)

I’m still partial to a good bottle of vino and a night of oversharing, but now it's by a fire pit instead of at an afters in someone’s basement. Some may call it growth. I reckon these forehead wrinkles would just say it’s age.

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!
