“The Boro is not just my hometown; it’s almost my ‘muse’. The people, the streets, the stories – they all find their way into my work.
There’s a unique spirit in the town, a resilience born out of hard work and a strong sense of community. These are the things that have shaped me as an artist and continue to shape my art.
I find beauty in the everyday, in the faces and places that others might overlook. Middlesbrough gives me the inspiration and the motivation to create, and lay down on paper for generations to come, the very essence of my home town. It’s always an honour to pay tribute to Middlesbrough.
