I have a diverse range of interests and passions. First and foremost, I dedicate a significant portion of my time to painting with oils on canvas. Portraiture and the art of capturing emotions are my particular areas of focus. Painting serves as my ultimate form of relaxation.
My strong family orientation is a core aspect of my life. I also find great satisfaction in engaging in charitable activities. Over the years, I've channeled my artistic abilities to raise funds for various noble causes such as Blood Bikes, Breast Cancer, Lymphoma, Help for Heroes, Poppy Appeal, and Local Fundraisers.
As an artist, I pride myself on my versatility, working with a wide range of mediums, from digital to traditional. My tattooing technique aims to replicate the look of a brushed painting, employing a unique and custom-created colour palette tailored to each project.
My journey as an automotive airbrush artist began with my father, who imparted his knowledge of panel beating and spraying. This background eased my transition into tattooing in 2019. My approach to tattoo art is to push the boundaries and redefine the possibilities of skin art. I strive to bring a modern twist to traditional art forms when working on skin, setting my style apart from others in the industry.
I draw inspiration from the beauty of nature that surrounds us, and my goal in tattooing is to replicate and immortalise it on the canvas of the human body.
In terms of qualifications, I hold a BA Honours Degree in Illustration and a National Foundation Diploma in Art and Design. These credentials represent my commitment to my craft and my continuous pursuit of artistic excellence.
