Having graduated from De Montfort University Leicester with a degree in Glass & Ceramic Design, I subsequently pursued an interest in Stencil Graffiti, Public Art, Illustration & Painting throughout the 90’s, whilst living in London.

After moving back to Manchester 1998 I worked as a Youth Arts Worker creating & facilitating Mural design projects with young people.

I currently specialise in Etchings, Wood Cut Prints and Linoprints of small to medium scale, uniting divergent influences of Japanese Wood Cut Printing (Ukiyo-e), Modern Graphic Art, Graffiti and Vinyl Toys.
