After many years working as a photographer in London’s advertising world, I found myself disenchanted with the rise of digital imagery and the instant ease of the iPhone age. That turning point led me to explore a more personal, hands-on form of creation.

Over several years of part-time art study, I began developing a visual language that merges texture, form, and emotion—where fragments of imagery come together in collage to express something beyond the literal. My process is intuitive and exploratory, a journey toward evoking feeling rather than recording fact.

Each piece is a carefully constructed digital collage, printed in limited editions on the finest papers and inks. These works are not photographs, but creations—images that exist somewhere between memory and imagination.
