Layered. Honest. Alive.
"I paint people because I’m drawn to their personalities — and why they do what they do.
It’s that individuality that interests me.
I look for what sits beneath the surface, capturing emotion and character in a way that feels both personal and universal."
I am a classically trained artist inspired by the dramatic storytelling of Baroque, the emotional intensity of Expressionism, and the raw grit of urban art.
I paint stories of emotional connection that are unapologetically human — layered, honest and alive.
From humble beginnings to European entrepreneur and now professional artist, my journey has been one of discovery — from rural fields to international boardrooms. I paint the emotions that connect us all — not the masks we wear, but the truths beneath.
After years of traveling my feet are firmly routed in East Sussex. I paint full-time from Myks.Studio — an historic barn, that is my workplace, gallery, and meeting space— It's a place where I now breath freely and can explore, not restricted by someone else's agenda

An elderly woman holds a teddy bear, a simple but powerful symbol of comfort and emotional security. The work reflects the human need to feel needed, especially in later life. It leaves the question: where do we turn for comfort when connection fades?

A nun, wearing eye-test glasses, stares toward a sign reading “God.” The painting explores what defines us as individuals — belief, influence, and experience. It asks whether who we are is chosen, or shaped by everything we absorb from the world around us.

An elderly woman peers through her fingers like goggles, searching for something lost. The work reflects grief and the human need for support to feel whole. It asks a quiet question: do we live in the past, or allow ourselves to move forward while still holding memory?
