Well hello there... I'm synaesthetic and I paint the music I see. I'm a creative producer, founder of F4Wt, and director of creative social group MAKINGSPACE.

I'm a synaesthetic artist and designer working out of my little studio in Hampshire, UK. Synaesthesia is simply a cross activation of the senses. Not all of us have it, some synaesthetes find it impacts their life in negative ways. I'm lucky, I am a grapheme-colour and sound-colour synaesthete, which means I see colour when I listen to music or read words and numbers. That's called chromesthesia.

It's impacted my life in a very positive way, and comes into play in all aspects of my creative practice. I studied Graphic Design at Camberwell College of Arts, London and after graduation quickly became obsessed with following down the path of pens and paint rather than the route of computerised commercialism. I think I was already there to be honest... And over the past decade have built up a little empire of portrait commissions, abstracted big canvases, record covers and painted anything stationary. I also became very interested in the way our brains work, the way syneasthete's brains work, the relationship to how musician's brains work and the way we all perceive colour. I studied that so much that I got a few more letters after my name. I'm still studying it. I'm sure I always will be, because it's interesting. Ask me about it if you're interested too. But back to the pictures...

In a world of chaos - sewing seed, growing the seed, nurturing to flower and then using those petals to print - anchors me back to reality.

Baby dahlias full of promise. Watch this space.

After a day that's been a daaaaayyyy - you know the type - unwound with the cats, a cuppa and a hoard the garden has provided.

True I won't feed the family with the chard and broccoli, but I may just squeeze some pigment from deadheading.

And breathe...

The calm before the calm.

This coming Friday! Stoked to host this as one of my out-going community programme events.

This is a completely different take on sound baths or sound meditation, sonic immersion takes you on a journey.

Studio soundtrack and some experimentation with some very special Beam Cottage oak gall ink.

Made with oak galls and iron, this ink was produced from the trees at our family home. Knowing our Dad was close to the end and with our mum already gone, it would be the last time I would witness the acorns ripening and falling. My Dad passed away shortly after.

The depth of blue black is insane. And this is home.

Life has been nuts. We lost our baby and my parents all in the space of a year. I took on an additional role at work until April, which I've LOVED, but now nearly through with. Adopted two small furry canon balls. Lost my studio and not found a new home to lay my paint brush. Then on Friday we bid Dad his final farewell and it kinda underlined everything for me. Starkly.

Maybe time for a change? Or is that just running away?

I haven't posted in ages because I've been nursing daddy-kins. Sadly he passed away just before Christmas. It's a different world now.

So what better to ease the glum than to launch my first curation of the coming year. In the Face of It confronts ideas of identity, visibility and resistance through the lens of cabaret culture.

With beautiful photography from and alongside costume work by and I'm really proud of the fabulousness it conveys.

You can fully fabulous before 13th Feb (and by booking tix to on 27th Feb)
