ABOUT SVW_ART I am a contemporary artist who lives and works in London. I began life in a sleepy village in Nottinghamshire, where I learned how to navigate discriminatory spaces within my village . Where words had not sufficed art did the talking. I am a self-taught artist who realised my abilities when I was about 11 years old. I found my place in my art lessons and noted the positive attention around my work from friends and family. Despite my passion, I was persuaded that art was not regarded as a viable career to sustain a comfortable lifestyle. I then leaned into my academic side, became a chartered surveyor and relegated art to a hobby for many years. Being distracted by life I dipped in and out of art between these different chapters of my life. Then came an event that meant these creative rendezvouses developed into a committed relationship. This was the storm that reverberated around the world: Covid and BLM. I drew on my passion from historical events and current affairs. I believe art is an important medium in which we record our lives and how those lives interact with each other. I use paintings to express events in the same way a poet uses words to express. I have exhibited in Publicis Sapient, Green and Stone, Linkedin (UK), Piccadilly London, sponsored by the Crown Estate. I am also signed up to Disrupt Space gallery and Apricus Art Collection (USA) . I am also a member of the Art on the Underground Associates . I hope my pieces will spark open conversation, allowing space for opposing beliefs, the opportunity to swap lens for a wider perspective. .
