Welcome to my website
Photography has always been a passion of mine, and travel has inspired my work. Having had the opportunity to live in various locations, capturing the vibrancy and soul of a place through photography, has always been my intention.
Originally from North Yorkshire, I spent much of my childhood around the picturesque Yorkshire coastline. I now live in Hebden Bridge, and lecture at Manchester Metropolitan University.
In 2017, together with a group of artist friends, we established 'Art In The Alley'. The concept involved holding art events, around Manchester in disused alley spaces. We invited local residents and businesses to meet the artists and view their artwork, which hung from the alley walls!
Our first event featured on the BBC Manchester website. A video of the launch has had over 80k views to date, and has inspired others communities to hold similar events. https://www.artinthealleyuk.co.uk/about.
From 2018 - March 2021, I established 'The CAPE Gallery', which was located next to the Corn Exchange, in Cathedral Gardens. It became a well established hub of creativity within Manchester's diverse art scene.

In 2018, I was one of the artists, selected to design one of the iconic Bee sculptures, for the Manchester 'Bee In The City Parade'. In collaboration with CJTaylordArt, we created the LGBTQ Community Bee, which the former Lord Mayor of Manchester, Carl Austin, had made possible. You can find the Bee in Sackville gardens, where it is on permanent display. https://beeinthecitymcr.co.uk/.

I spend time on the stunning Llŷn Peninsula, North Wales, and have my work in several shops and galleries there, including The Tonnau Gallery and Oriel Plas Glyn-y-Weddw, the oldest gallery in Wales https://www.oriel.org.uk/. .

If you choose a bespoke design, I will draft it, and send it to you electronically, so you can proof it before it is created. It is not a problem if you want to make some last minute changes.
All my bespoke frames are created at a local family run framers, which I have been working with for many years.
