I grew up in Doncaster, a working‑class mining town in South Yorkshire, England. I studied Fine Art (Digital Printmaking) at the University of Wolverhampton, graduating with honours and receiving the Mander Award for Excellence from Anish Kapoor.

For more than twenty years I’ve worked at the intersection of art, design, and technology — specialising in digital design for leading advertising agencies and founding my own studio, where I’ve created work for clients including the BBC, Virgin, and Nike.

In 2007 I began the first of my now well‑known penny portraits, portraits made from thousands of copper coins that became an internet phenomenon and featured in publications including The FT, The Guardian and The Times. That series marked the start of an ongoing interest in value, materiality and systems of exchange.

Today my practice explores the invisible structures that hold reality together, from economies to quantum fields. Using digital and generative techniques, I create images that feel both solid and unstable: portraits of reality as particles in constant motion. Though rooted in digital process, my work often crosses between digital and physical forms, from prints and paintings to moving images and immersive projections, reflecting the fluid boundary between data and matter, and between the virtual and the real.
