I’m a 26 year old abstract artist currently based in the countryside just outside of Manchester. I’m a nature lover through and through. You can probably tell, the outdoors and all of the wonders it has to offer is the predominant inspiration for my work. I love to travel, something I do regularly. Whether that be hopping on a plane to discover a new city, or spending months away exploring the world in my sprinter van with my partner and the light of my entire life, our little dog, Rosie. (If you follow me on Instagram, you’ll know all about her!)

 I am truly in love with living and the ever changing seasons of my life. My painting style has evolved entirely over the years and I think I'm the type of artist who will always be evolving in some way. I don't like to stick to the same thing for too long. I thrive off being pushed and challenged within my work and so you'll find me constantly experimenting.

So, lets go back to the start...art was always part of me. Since I can remember I used drawing as therapy. After battling health problems since being young, art was always there to distract me and it continues to do the same for me today. It all began In 2018 when my sister asked me to paint a small canvas for her new home, and everything spiralled from there. I developed a social media presence which would soon become AG.Originals.

Unfortunately the start of some scary health issues began when I was taken seriously ill at the end of 2018 and spent several weeks in hospital. The silver lining among the incredibly dark cloud was my ‘light bulb’ moment: I resolved to become a full time artist. In August of 2019 I acquired my first studio which enabled me to create and experiment with bigger pieces, different styles and indulge my passion for abstract painting. My commissions had gone from strength to strength, with added sales from my stock paintings and prints.

Art has saved me on more than one occasion, and I am certain I will continue to use it as my therapy forever. Art means more to me than just paint on a canvas. To me it means freedom, it means happiness, and by being able to paint, it means I am defying all odds that I would make it as an artist.

I appreciate all of you so, so much. I will be forever grateful to all of my wonderful customers for allowing me to pursue my dream.
