I’m delighted to be exhibiting at Urban Art 2025 in Brixton SW2 on the weekend of the 5th and 6th July. You’ll find me at Pitch 1H, right next to the information desk on Josephine Avenue, a perfect spot to pause, take in some art, and say hello. The event is open from 10 am to 6pm both days, and with over 120 artists taking part it makes for a great day out in South London.
I’m probably best known for my dog portraits; characterful, painterly studies that try to capture more than just a likeness. Whether it’s a beloved black cockerpoo or a scruffy terrier with attitude, I enjoy finding the personality behind the pose. But I’m just as proud of my human portraits too, a series of thoughtful, often intimate images that explore expression, stillness, and presence. Whether I’m painting flesh or fur, my aim is always the same: to convey something genuine, something felt.
I work mainly in oil paint, which allows for rich colour, subtle tones and a bit of improvisation along the way. I also create lino cuts, a more graphic, hands-on medium that forces a different way of thinking about shape and form. Between the two, I enjoy the push and pull of control and chance, detail and boldness.
Urban Art is a brilliant event, relaxed, friendly, and full of talent. There’s a great energy to showing work in the open air, and it’s a pleasure to meet people who are just as curious about the process as they are about the finished picture. You can see more of my work on this web site, but I’d love you to come and see it in person. Whether you’re a dog lover, art enthusiast, or just passing by, please stop for a chat.
