I was born in 1969 in London, I am an English painter living in Berlin. I studied at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art in London and Kyoto City University of Arts, Kyoto, Japan. In 2007 I co-founded the artists project space RISE in Berlin, Germany and acted as its director and curator until 2013. Career highlights include exhibiting at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, performing and exhibiting at the Beyeler Foundation, Basel, Switzerland and participating in Art Annual, Kobe, Japan.

My works could be seen as a series of proposals which invite further qualification and refinement. I am interested in how art can be used as a tool to reorder the world around me and how this aesthetic order could have a consoling or agitating effect, or even both. A recurring theme in my work is pattern, I am drawn to patterns that predict and perhaps defy cosmic order. When I make art I think about whether it is still possible to make images and objects that embody ideas of faith, beauty and truth.
