Commando to Canvas
I never planned to become an artist. I joined the Army at 16, served in 29 Commando Regiment, and deployed to Afghanistan as a Section Commander when I was just 20. After leaving the military, I became a builder but mentally, I was struggling. Like many veterans, I carried things I couldn't explain.
In 2017, after a hiking trip in the Lake District, wanted something on the wall to remind me how that place made me feel. I couldn’t find the right painting, and I couldn’t afford one anyway, so I decided to try painting something myself.
My wife laughed in my face when I told her, and to be fair it was a funny moment so I don’t blame her. But still I gave it a go.

Supporting our Veterans
I'm proud to support Phoenix Heroes, a veterans charity offering immediate PTSD support. A cause close to my heart.
I want other veterans to have access to the help they deserve, so I regularly donate original paintings to Phoenix Heroes for auction and run art therapy days for veterans and their families. Every time I donate or host a session, I’m reminded how art can help heal. Especially when people stay in touch, keep painting, and show me what they’ve created.
