QUIET CONVERSATIONS WITH FAMILIAR FACES.
When documenting icons turns into documenting recovery.
BECAUSE SOMETIMES IT’S EASIER TO TELL THE TRUTH THROUGH SOMEONE ELSE.
About the Artist
I trained in architecture at Central Saint Martins, where I learned structure, precision, and discipline. But I always felt myself pulled toward something more human - expression, instinct, and storytelling.
That’s what my work is now: surreal portraits that reveal the emotional, vulnerable, unspoken sides of the figures we think we already understand.
Every piece is drawn by hand. Every detail is intentional. Every artwork aims to tell the story they can’t tell themselves.

The Commission
Ahead of the AIG Women's Open, IMG and The R&A commissioned me to create an original graphite portrait of defending champion Miyu Yamashita.
The ambition extended beyond creating a commemorative artwork. The collaboration formed part of a wider creative initiative to explore alternative ways of promoting women's golf, using art as a vehicle to engage audiences who may not traditionally follow the sport.
By combining portraiture with a live athlete presentation, the project celebrated an individual sporting achievement while creating a compelling piece of content designed to reach audiences beyond golf's existing fanbase.
The resulting handover reel, shared by the AIG Women's Open, has now been viewed more than 4.2 million times.
Having previously played competitive golf before pursuing art, the commission felt particularly personal. It brought together two parts of my life that I had never expected to reconnect: sport and portraiture.
Commissioned by
The Permanent Collection.
