I was born in 1998 and spent my formative years in Hampshire.
I graduated from Tudor Hall School, Oxfordshire in 2016; it was here that my interests in art were established. That same year, I commenced my studies at the Charles H. Cecil Studios in Florence, Italy.
There, I spent four years learning from Charles and his studio. I received training in the ‘sight-size’ technique, which we applied in both portraiture and figurative art. Broadly, this can be understood as a process whereby the canvas remains alongside the sitter, allowing the artist to achieve life-size and life-like portraits. This preeminent technique was developed and perfected by masters such as Diego Velazquez, Thomas Lawrence and John Singer Sargent, artists whom I greatly admire.
In 2020, after completing my studies I moved to the Chelsea Studios in London. I work here on various projects and commissions.
