I’ve had the pleasure of working with my hometown and town council on a community Mural for the beautiful town hall situated in the heart of the town. Over the course of two days I will be running workshops in the town hall where all ages and abilities from the community are invited to create artwork which reflects what the town means to them… All artwork created will be used in the final linear tapestry which will adorn the windows of the hall… More info coming soon!
Siebtel Himmel CSD Pride window takeover, Cologne 2024.
A super quick trip to Cologne to paint the beautiful window of specialist book and design shop Siebtel Himmel situated in the heart of the Belgian Quarters ahead of the CSD Pride celebrations. The company allowed me to work my magic using the signature brand colour across the window, adding all things CSD, Pride and design related.. Was a super fun filled afternoon meeting locals, chatting to shoppers and intrigued passersby… Had to sample a few of the local Kölsch beers to quench my thirst on the hot Summers day!

AMCI Global Interior Mural, UK.
Brightening up the interior Shutters of AMCI Global UK HQ! I was given creative freedom to come up with a bold black and white graphic that reflects the automotive company ethos and evolution over the years! Neil the MD trusted my vision to deliver a clean hand painted Mural enriching and uplifting the office environment.
Solidarity with Ukraine.
A revised and super important message for the "Love Thy Neighbour" Mural that I painted in the heart of Budapest's Jewish quarters some years ago on Dob Utca! I was commissioned by the organisers of the Színes Város Festival who kindly made the changes to the original heart to express our solidarity with the people of Ukraine.

FLOWER STUDIES - SUMMER 2021
Since the first lockdown came into place with the ongoing pandemic I managed to get holed up back in my Country beginnings just north east of Oxford in the Cotswolds. Throughout the past two Spring and Summers here I’ve been fortunate enough to reconnect with the amazing nature on my doorstep and found a huge inspiration in the flowers growing in the garden. I’m especially drawn to the Echinacea flowers and their dramatic cone centres. Below is a selection of the Flower Series that is currently on-going and evolving.

Was honoured to have had the pleasure of being the first artist to take up residency for Covent Garden, London over the summer months.
