Self-taught, queer artist from North Lincolnshire living in Leeds

Working mainly through digital paintings, I push to question what the value of art is when it is detached from a tangible medium. Much of my work comes from my identity of growing up around one of Britain's economically deprived steel towns, where I try to evidence the uncomfortableness of clashing what is known to be fine art together with social class, gender and sexuality, and push this to the forefront in painterly images. I often paint as a therapeutic exercise to make that unease palatable to view, but never completely gone.
