"EXHIBITIONS & COMMISIONS"

"THE VIXEN BAR" - HPL

A local bar in association with the university, The Vixen and sister company The Princess Helena Arts Centre put forth the opportunity to complete a mural within the property. Since then owner Sophie Angus has approached me with a plethora of jobs to complete in the property. Including the display of several paintings, prints. Due to my involvement in the business, Sophie featured me in an artists spotlight on the Vixen's official website (link attatched). More work with Vixen will be coming soon.

"HIGH TIDE" - NCL

A family ran business, High Tide is a restaurant located in my hometown on the coast of Newcastle and has been an active part of the community for nearly 10 years. Jo and Nathan Bulch, two close family friends, aim to support local artists and businesses as best they can. Purchasing local produce, refreshments and artwork led them to commission a piece from me personally. A 3ft x 3ft canvas features a colour saturated likeness of the building prior to the renovations, allowing the business to expand. An homage to their beginning if you will.

"NSOA PRELUDE" - HPL

As part of the second year of the fine art course in the "professional studies" module. The penultimate goal is a gallery quality exhibition of which will be fully paid for from the fundraising exhibition held on university grounds. For this exhibition, I had taken a figurative stance in the fact i had painted two portraits of political figures. A Monarch and former Prime Minister shown in through the eyes of a Northener, to do so i have made intertextual references to both music and popular culture to express my opinions on each figure.

In our second and final exhibition of second year, i had refined my style of collage, bold colour placed almost mathematically with colour theory to balance the space in the canvas whilst making a vast selection of references to other media to convey my feelings of pride in the working class and socialist ideologies in the style of Robert Rauschenberg, Cy Twombly and Jean Michel-Basquiat.

Titus Andronicus- L5 Acting

As part of their second year production of Titus Andronicus, performed at The ARC Stockton in 2025. I was commissioned by NSOA lecturer David Edwards to paint a mural of the antagonistic character Emperor Saturninus on a cojoining shed panel to be dispayed on the set of the production.

The piece used a reference of the actor playing the character and was completed using numerous colours of spray paint and acrylic POSCA markers.
