Flight

Commission by Full Colour Maindee. Brief was to create an inspirational image as a gateway to Maindee. I chose swooping swallows on a watercolour sky in an illustration style.

Gateway Garden Maindee

Commissioned by Maindee Unlimited. I had the privilege of working with RHS award winner April House Gardens and Greening Maindee to design a mural to compliment the planting scheme at this incredible garden.

Llanwern School Wayfinding Murals

One of a pair of murals that mark the entrance to the art department and 'Cedar' areas in the school. The second mural shows the tree large and the Kingfisher small to reflect your change of location.

Big Blue

A dreamy, contemporary fantasy, vision inspired by art nouveau. The design flows along the shape of the vehicle and the subtle shadows and patches of light were painted in direct response to the dappled light that danced across the surfaces as I painted.

Greening Maindee

Commissioned by Greening Maindee. I worked with the team to develop a design that would reflect many of the local species of flora and fauna. The mural accompanies the gardening scheme along the route and the design was inspired by workshops with pupils from Maindee Primary School

Riverside Park, Newbridge

The image shows work in progress on 4 of 6 pillars that I painted in a trompe l'oeil nature theme. The pillars were painted as part of a regeneration scheme to develop a park on waste-ground beneath the A472

Action for Children triptych

A small commission to create an artwork to decorate the meeting rooms at Beechwood Park, Newport. I've included this piece to show a more illustrative approach to creating my designs. It also shows a less vibrant colour scheme which was much more suited to the calming space.

Milton Primary School

This is a small section of a 120 metre series of murals in Milton Primary school. This section shows a selection of mushrooms that an be found growing locally

Garden Mural

This garden mural was painted as a private commission in multiple layers of muted tones combined with rich earthy colours for the foreground.

Antenatal Artworks

Details of the 4 artworks I created for the antenatal ward in Cardiff. These images highlight my use of colour gradients and graphical elements in creating a harmonious design.

I'm loving the opportunity to transform the librar I'm loving the opportunity to transform the library at Ysgol Nant Gwenlli.

Hopefully by the time I've finished these 6 nursery rhymes I'll understand the Welsh too 🙂

I painted this today for Rich & Bev. The brief was I painted this today for Rich & Bev.
The brief was to bring a bit of seaside warmth as a backdrop to their hot tub.
I think it turned out nicely. 
Makes me want a deckchair and a pint. 

If you have an idea for a mural in your home, get in touch.

Is this vandal proofing any good? Let's hope me a Is this vandal proofing any good? 
Let's hope me and Ginge don't have to find out 🤞🏻
The stuff is called Euroshield and it creates an invisible barrier to protect your work. 
It's sacrificial though, so if you wipe off any tagging then you need to reapply 2 layers ...

Watch 2 days painting in 30 seconds. This is a cou Watch 2 days painting in 30 seconds.
This is a couple of years old now, but it's still one of my favourite murals to date. 
I love the limited palette, the dreamy feel and the dappled light. 
All enhanced by the beautiful location in Cornwall.

The Enchanted Woods at night was a great venue and the perfect place to swing our lights. 
Great music, amazing lighting installations and a very happy mushy crowd of people.

I painted this a few years ago now and it's still I painted this a few years ago now and it's still love of my favourites. 
It was lovely not to have to rush this and to put all my time into creating all the gradients and reflections that make the image pop. 
I get these effects by layering multiple shades of the same colour, overlayed with multiple transparent shades. It's how I love to paint.
We stayed inside the caravan that I was painting and we had 400 acres of land to explore. It was beautiful.

This mural was made in exchange for our stay. 
Do you have a swap in mind?

Shambala was great. 
Our lightpainting went down a storm and we had so much positive feedback and so many happy (and amazed) faces. 
Let's do it all again!
