Latest Award: VAA100 International Winner 2025

I'm a classically trained artist that is inspired by the dramatic storytelling of Baroque, the emotional intensity of Expressionism, and the raw grit of urban art.
I call myself a Statement Artist, painting stories of emotional connections that are unapologetically human.
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

Inspiration
At the age of about nine, I was welcomed by an Indian family to share food and smiles so their son had a friend. The scent of Indian cuisine brings back this memory and prompts me to question “Does exclusion have a place in today’s society?”

Inspiration
After a recent trip to the opticians, I noticed that the person checking my eyes seemed especially trustworthy, perhaps influenced by their calm manner and even their black-and-white clothing. It made me wonder: is our sense of destiny shaped by the people we surround ourselves with, or does it come from somewhere else?

Inspiration
This is about the feeling of loss; based on a close relatives who is very important to me, this painting is about her grief in losing her husband 25 years ago. She still finds time to mourn and laugh but has never let go. Posing the question “Is it right to live for the past or should we celebrate the future?”
