- Chakra seriesMy brand new limited edition print series is based on the Chakra points as defined by Hindu spiritual traditions. The Chakras, whether real or not, help us to focus, connect with, and learn to express different aspects of who we are. A percentage of profits from sales of the whole series will be going to MAPS (Multidisciplinary Association for Psychedelic Studies). The research this non-profit organization are doing is very close to my heart. Here's why....
- Metanoia‘Metanoia’, the title of my new series of oil paintings, is a word derived from Greek meaning “changing one’s mind”. This mental shift is explored in the work through the use of semi-abstraction which encourages the viewer to enter into a visual state of limbo, where the brain attempts to pull the image together, to make sense of the recognizable parts, but instead is left with an unreliable shifting surface of altering states and metamorphic structures.
- CoalescenceThis large scale sculptural piece was created for the new creative office space Arrive in White Tower, MediaCityUK, Salford. It spans 3 floors high and 20 metres long. Coalescence means to grow together, to unite so as to form one mass, one community.

- The Inscending Spiral: Drawings IIIHaving previously pursued filmmaking as a side project, through script writing and the making of short films - including the Vimeo Awards 2010 shortlisted film 'Outside' - I have now chosen to integrate those ideas into my main body of work.

'Outside'
Three lives are connected in a world whose inhabitants predominantly prefer
the secure realities of an implicit inside world to that of the physical world.
The film explores how advancement in technology has effected the way we
communicate and how as a result it may impact our society and environment.
