An artist and printmaker, living and working in North London. He studied Textile Design at Chelsea College of Arts, and is currently completing an MA in Print at the Royal College of Art.

His most recent solo exhibition, IMPOSSIBLE BEAUTY, was held at The Bomb Factory in 2024. He has exhibited at the Royal Academy, and his work is held in the permanent collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum and the Royal College of Art. He is a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers.

Each of his print works unfolds a mythical dreamscape, constructed from multiple hand-drawn elements to create a lush graphic unity.  They are brought to the page through a painstaking manual printmaking process that builds up layers of colour to produce a unique dense vibrancy.

Inspiration comes from everything and anything – Byzantine mosaic to socialist poster art; Cimabue to instant ramen; Hokusai to videogames.
