My art "career" started back in the late 90's when I attended art college (Oakwood Park, Kent). This study took three years, where I learnt the art of painting, sculpting, photography and drawing. After the 3 years I achieved a Merit which I used to further my studies by attending University. I studied for a further 3 years at London College of Music and Media, studying digital arts and video production. This course took my "hands on" approach to art and digitalised it. It gave me the opportunity to experiment, play and create with mixed media. From University I went on to focus my career choosing the aspects of art I enjoy both photography and sculpting to further my development. Since then I have exhibited works in The Truman Brewery and Dana Centre, both prestigious buildings based in the centre of London. My art at the moment focuses on dimensions, playing with time, space and light. I find inspiration behind my camera looking to capture moments of time in a distinctive manor using similar techniques used by artist Rob Carter.
