Inspiration
Perplexing, humorous and melancholy, his work is created from the heart.
With a background in fine art, sculpture and ceramics, he cites Rembrandt amongst his influences and enjoys scrutinising the technique behind a painting.
For his latest project, he worked with the West Midlands Police Museum to explore the criminal underworld of 19th century Birmingham.
His haunting paintings delve into the history of the infamous Peaky Blinders gang, made famous by the successful BBC series of the same name.
