About The Artist


I am a British Artist but have lived and worked in Dubai for the last 20 years. I started playing around with a concept I describe as ‘cellular’ art about a decade ago but then life, travel, and work distracted me from experimenting with this concept further. In 2015, by chance I found my thoughts returning to the concept of cellular art. I am now prolifically creating images in this style and currently working daily to build my portfolio. Each painting, for me, is a personal challenge. A draining endeavour which can take two months to complete. Some paintings have more than 40,000 cells of Individually mixed portions of acrylic paint. Each cell of colour is placed with a brush one spot at a time. I can think of few things more satisfying than to slowly coax my subject to life and witness its birth. It truly feels like I leave a little bit of my soul embedded within each of my creations. I am incredibly grateful for the overwhelming encouragement and positive reviews my work is receiving.
