So excited to be taking part in this years NABS Art Auction. I have been a Mental Health Ambassador for over 6 years now, and I use art to improve my own mental wellbeing. I thoroughly encourage everyone to take up a creative practice, as it really does enhance your mental health!

Thrilled for my art to be spotlighted by NABS 😊 Even more thrilled to be part of this fantastic initiative to raise funds for NABS, who do such an amazing job in raising awareness of mental health in the workplace, and supporting people in the media industry 🙌

Thinking back, these three quotes were probably some of the first ones which really changed my understanding of how our minds work, and how we CREATE our "reality" through our thoughts.

FYI - Quotes are by Sydney Banks

For anyone interested in learning more, The Inside-Out Revolution by Michael Neill was the game changer book for me.

It opened my eyes to the thing that was missing from my life, creativity. Which is fundamentally who/what we are 😀

Original Zombie 🧟‍♂️
Started sketching this character back in my late teens, when I first started my interest in art, design, and photography. I spent a summer working in La Scala nightclub in LDN and would collect all of the cool flyers for the DJs, and stick them up on my bedroom wall 🎧

Who knew what started as a scribble would come full circle years later..

Back then, I thought you had to be a drawing whiz to be creative, and I definitely wasn't.. So my creative endeavours didn't last long ☹️

But hey, creativity finds a way! Many years later, here I am painting this dude, the original zombie, which started the zombie nation/human psyche theme I have been exploring for the last 2 years 😃❤️

Recently, I came across a story that hit close to home. Losing my dad at 19 changed my outlook on life completely. It made me realise how precious life is and inspired me to make the most of it 😊

Double Dutch 🇳🇱
I have always struggled with colour, staying close to CMYK/primary colours. So, I looked elsewhere for inspiration for this piece 👀 from some of my favourite artists.. Thanks for your help! 🙏🏻😃

Planting Seeds 🌱 I can't tell you how many times I've painted a piece on this canvas, but it's a lot! Still in explorer mode. Paint, cover over, repeat.. 🔄

The King 👑
Mixed medium on canvas
100cm x 157cm
I've not been painting recently for several reasons. Feeling full of joy and gratitude to have finished a new piece 🙏🏻 The King archetype is the foundation of self worth, self-esteem, self-love even. This archetype allows us to imagine and achieve our higher aspirations, to find our calling in life, and to take control of those situations for which we are responsible. The gateway emotion to our inner king is joy ☺️❤️
