Year:

​

I’m a Portsmouth-based artist specialising in pointillism and large-scale paste-ups. My work explores themes of nature, life cycles, and the macabre, with creatures like manatees, birds, and other animals often taking centre stage.
I work with fine-liner pens, Posca, and acrylic to build intricate points and shading, each mark carefully placed to draw viewers closer. Over the last year, I've brought this technique into public spaces across the South Coast, transforming walls into detailed portraits that invite people to pause and connect with the natural world.
My aim is to create moments of wonder and reflection, whether tucked down a lane or displayed boldly in a high-traffic area, by reminding people of our relationship with nature and mortality. Through these pieces, I hope to slow the pace of passing life and encourage a moment of stillness.
