"Born in the Midlands, I studied Architecture in Manchester following on to postgraduate studies at Oxford Brooks + London South Bank University. I am greatly influenced by the effects of social change in post-industrial society. Following my studies in Architecture, I went on to study Fine Art in Norwich. My work is centred on innovation, regeneration, sustainability + adaptability. I worked with the public arts sector through commission continuing smaller works for private collections in celebrating often the unsung hero."
