My interest is in the play of colour and texture as they revolve around nature and people. I use digital software to re-work sketches, painting and photographic images to explore the play of colour, texture and line that presents itself. It's a multi-layered approach whereby original sketches and photographs may be re-worked, re-painted and then re-worked a number of times till completion of the final image – a process that can take many months. My aim is to delight and surprise the viewer – for them to see and feel an abstraction of the familiar re-presented from a new perspective.
I am a retired educator who has taught painting and photography in Ealing schools for over forty years. During that time I never stopped producing my own photographic work. Since retiring I have increased my photographic output, self-published several books of my photographs and also exhibited, most recently in the current Royal Academy of Arts Summer Exhibition.

I’m a multidisciplinary artist driven by a deep need to express, heal, and tell stories that often go unheard. My journey began in architecture and design, but over time, I realised that my true voice lived in the space where art meets emotion—where personal and collective histories collide.
My work is rooted in identity, faith, and memory. I create to reflect on who we are, where we come from, and what we carry—whether joy, pain, tradition, or resilience. One of my most personal pieces, The Blood-Stained Child, was born from a place of sorrow and confrontation. It's a raw and unfiltered response to the violence I’ve witnessed in my community—an image of innocence caught in chaos. It hurt to make, but it had to be made. That piece helped me grieve, helped me pray, and reminded me why I create in the first place: to process pain, to provoke thought, and to call for peace.
Much of my work, including More Love, Less War, seeks to bridge divides—ethnic, religious, generational. I draw from my Nigerian heritage, using symbols, colors, and textures that hold weight and meaning, but I also reinterpret them through a modern lens. I want my art to feel both ancestral and alive—tied to the past but speaking clearly to today.
Whether I’m working with digital media, string, textiles, or paint, I approach every project with the same intention: to stir something real. I believe art has the power to build empathy, to challenge injustice, and to heal. For me, this isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about presence, purpose, and pushing through silence with something that speaks.

An aim to constantly push and evolve,
To create art that is unique and original,
Fascinated by taking the artisan into the realms of the digital,
Most at home working on large scale pieces and murals.

Always looking forward to the next adventure.
