In Bristol, a city full of artists, I started my journey in a unique way. Instead of art school, I went to a university in London where I studied science and music. There, I learned how music is a lot like science and how being creative makes science even better.

After becoming a science teacher in London and Bristol, I realised that I loved combining different subjects like art and science. I also believed in representing everyone fairly in my education.

Although I had learned a bit about art in school, I didn't really start painting until ten years later. In 2017, I began painting as a hobby, but soon, people started taking an interest in my work. By 2022, my paintings were shown in galleries in London and Bristol. My art combines many of my interests: science, music, poetry, and more. Many of my paintings tell a personal story, featuring members of my family and the LGBTQ+ community, my extended family. I love using my art to communicate the parts of science that inspire me. I also love historical religious artworks and I often use imagery from these paintings in my own work but used in a more modern way.

By 2023, I transitioned to working full-time as an artist and running a project called The MoSAIC. This project uses art to teach young people about science. When people buy my art, some of the money helps support The MoSAIC.

I love to paint with oil, acrylic, and ink. My paintings help to explain new scientific discoveries in a way that children can understand and inspire them to be creative. Plus, teachers can use my art in their lessons because I provide lesson plans online and workshops in-person. But even with all this serious work, I sometimes add a touch of humour to my artwork because I don't want people to think I’m too serious all the time.
