  • SAVE BGWMC
    I was inspired to paint this scene of the outside of the Bethnal Green Working Mens’ Club (BGWMC) after reading about the threat of closure the venue faced at the hands of property developers. Me painting the venue happened to coincide with the group ‘Friends of Bethnal Green Working Mens Club’ launching their campaign to… Read more: SAVE BGWMC
  • SETTING UP THE ROMAN
    I’ve wanted to paint a scene of Roman Road in Bow for ages because not only is it a great place to buy your fruit and veg (Nil’s is my favourite!), but it’s also such an interesting story of the East End of London and the changes it’s seen over the last hundred years. It… Read more: SETTING UP THE ROMAN
  • DANCING WITH HOLOGRAMS AND THE GHOSTS OF EAST LONDON
    Watching holograms of the band ABBA perform their hits between some electrical substations and London’s largest gravel pit has to be one of the strangest slices of what’s happening in East London right now. The ABBA Voyage holograms themselves were developed by Steven Spielberg’s special-FX company Industrial Light & Magic, and now live in a… Read more: DANCING WITH HOLOGRAMS AND THE GHOSTS OF EAST LONDON
  • HOUSING REBELLION OCCUPYING THE LESNES ESTATE
    I was inspired to paint this view of the Lesnes Estate in Thamesmead after hearing of the action by a group of residents calling themselves ‘LesRes’ (the Lesnes Resistance!) alongside Housing Rebellion who worked together in occupying these homes in protest of their looming demolition by Peabody Housing.  Learning about the Lesnes story it unfortunately feels… Read more: HOUSING REBELLION OCCUPYING THE LESNES ESTATE

    Kenworthy Road Bridge, London’s second most driven into bridge! After finishing my series of ‘Six Visions of Hackney Wick’, which featured a whole load of industrial units, old factories, and warehouses, I was really keen to paint something a bit more residential and typical East London. Kenworthy Road is all of 15 mins from Hackney… Read more: KENWORTHY ROAD
  • THE DEMOLITION OF HUB 67 COMMUNITY CENTRE
    ‘THE DEMOLITION OF HUB 67 COMMUNITY CENTRE’ is the sixth in my series of ‘SIX VISIONS OF HACKNEY WICK’. Turning to one of the main roads in the area, which joins the Overground Station to the older creative warehouses, White Post Lane felt like a fitting ending to this series. The Hub 67 Community Centre… Read more: THE DEMOLITION OF HUB 67 COMMUNITY CENTRE

    FINAL HOMES REMAINING is the fifth in the series of six paintings ‘SIX VISIONS OF HACKNEY WICK’ 2023-2024. The piece looks at Dace Road across the canal in Fish Island. Taking its name from the poorly chosen marketing banner on the new build flats in the area, this piece aims to contrast the light and… Read more: FINAL HOMES REMAINING

    LIFE ABOARD ON DUCKETT’S CUT is the fourth in the series of six paintings ‘SIX VISIONS OF HACKNEY WICK’ 2023-2024.
