I’m a contemporary visual storyteller blending hyperrealism and surrealism. I trained in architecture at Central Saint Martins before transitioning to the creative arts. My current series of works focuses on graphite portraiture of cultural icons, exploring identity, legacy, and the interplay between public persona and private self. I draw influence from pop culture, art history, and psychological portraiture. I work freelance as an artist creating commissioned drawings, tarot card designs, cover art for authors, having also worked on projects including furniture restoration, live sketching, and costume design.
