About Me
I’m an Artist, Tutor and Presenter based in Brighton, UK who predominantly focuses on portraiture and painting people.
Most recently, I am the Presenter of the series Art Made Easy for Sky Arts and SJP Wealth – 12 episodes of art tutorials which encourage everyone to get drawing and painting, produced by Storyvault TV. These can be viewed on Sky TV’s YouTube HERE and run from Sept – Dec 2025. In December 2024, I presented two episodes of the Artist of the Year: Masterclass series on Sky Arts – two 30 minute programmes exploring Alla Prima Portraits, and How to Loosen up. In Nov 2023, I reached the semi-final of Series 10 of Sky Arts Portrait Artist of the Year, painting portraits of Vanessa Kingori and Emma Bunton.
I work at Draw as a tutor, hosting weekly online life drawing classes, and run courses in Painting Portraits in Oils and Self Portraiture. I also teach Life Drawing and Portraiture to artists groups and schools within the local community and across the UK. In Autumn of 2024 I was Artist-in-Residence at Roedean School.
In my own paintings, my work is led by strong colour, shape and impact. I work from both observation and photography, and am particularly drawn to representing women in my paintings. I work in oil, which is the perfect medium to explore that visceral feel to the study of flesh and faces. I’m currently working on paintings of people within domestic settings, looking at the echoes people leave over time in familiar places.
