About me
I've been working in the London area as a scenic since around 2012. After graduating with a Fine Art painting degree I found work in theatres which led me into prop making and scenery building and then back to painting again.Since then I have painted sets and props for a wide range of clients including Broadway musicals, Theatre, Theme park rides, Window displays and TV dramas (see my CV for specifics)
Every job is different so I have to be able to think through new approaches to achieve what a client or designer wants. I enjoy the creative process of figuring out the best and quickest method for each job, sometimes using brushes or spray guns other times, sponges, feathers, plastic bags or whatever seems necessary.
I prefer working with in the creative arts and contributing to things that are entertaining or thought provoking. I am therefore looking to expand on my experience and get more work as a production painter in Theatre, Film and TV.
