About me

I am a painter, jewellery designer and sculptor living in London. I began my career as an artist in the mid-eighties designing multimedia material for warehouse parties, clubs and stage shows. During this time my work took me to Japan, Australia, North America and Europe where my interest in the arts grew and I began to express myself through painting and sculpture.

Growing up in London has shaped my work and the city is a great place to live and create.The biggest impact on my working technique came through the first visit to my homeland of St Vincent. I was completely overwhelmed by the vibrancy of colour and richness of the culture, something that I had expressed previously in my painting without understanding where the inspiration had come from. This visit inspired me to paint more frequently. I later traveled to Senegal and The Gambia which gave greater meaning and understanding to my work. I spent six months working with artists and sculptors and have made many return visits

More than anything I love to travel, sit on a beach, catch fish, eat, read and make things.

I have a BA in Jewellery Design from Central St Martins. During the time studying my paintings took on a sculptural quality with many of the pieces showing the delicacy of fine jewellery and a sculptural quality in the form of collage, print and surface decoration.

I have enjoyed working as a freelance designer and maker producing processional sculpture and costumes with EEA and educational work with KORI. I also work with the Indigo Collective and I am a member of the art group Colour and Movement. I am really into sculpture at the moment and have completed two pieces for Altnagelvin Hospital in Derry Ireland and a collection of child friendly sculptures for Dulwich Park in London.

Commissions at the moment include illustrations for a a book on alternative medicine, illustrations for a children's book and I am developing a prototype for a compact sound system casing. I am also working on various merchandising items for clients, these range from t shirts and sculpture to soft furnishing. You can also find a radio interview at Soul Visions.

I am also about to start work as concept artist for the animated feature film Ankoyes Sword.

I work from my studio in South London. Although I love the time I spend locked away in my studio, I also enjoy working on collaborative projects with other artists and in community settings. I am also available to teach workshops and give talks.
