Category of work:

Painting the beauty of reality on canvas.

Describe your work in one sentence:

From painting Plein Air in the streets to working on big projects in my new studio and networking. 

Why do you do it?

It’s a good escape from my other job where I’m a busy chef, and it makes me happy. 

What keeps you going (what’s your GRIT)?

My true GRIT would have to be Courage and Determination 

What advice would you give to somebody wanting to become a ‘creative’?

Never giving up, always strive to be the best in everything you do, and most importantly be happy. 

Tell us something unusual about yourself.

I have a distant relative William Frederick Rock who was a British publisher and philanthropist and he gave all his money to a town Barnstaple in Devon. There is Rock Park named after him in the town.
