KTContemprary is an art space that will operate as a commercial gallery dedicated to showing young, graduate, emergent art selling at low price points in curated exhibitions. The space will be a temporary site initially with the view to opening something more permanent in the future. All works will be under €1000 and the idea is to fill a gap in the market offering young, good value high quality art that is authentic and backed up by an intelligent artistic process with real investment potential for the future in terms of the piece that the client is buying and the career they are supporting. 


Private View 3rd December.

Life Drawing

Most of these are 3-5 min sketches, I will post the longer ones when I have photographed them.

Life away from Uni

Since leaing university I have managed to get a job and leave a job, and managed to get through three cars! It's all good fun. Whilst trying to battle with the grown up world I struggled with my drawing to begin with, finding the drive to draw or paint was difficult going from intense deadlines to none at all.

I know that if I want to be an artist no one is going to know where or what I am unless I show/tell them.

So I decided to just go for it, I have posted hundreds of business cards attached to price lists through lots and lots of doors, emailed numerous amounts of people, spent hours on axis, artquest and arts hub traulling through all the competitions, open call exhibitions ect. Through doing that I have managed to slowly get things going. So far I have a few commissions and a tattoo design in the works. Also I met with a lady who is setting up a 'pop up' gallery in Dublin who likes my university work and would like to take it over there to put in her gallery. I am going to help tutor at Fareham Art Group workshops, and have been invited to do a demonstration at Fair Oak Art society.

So at the moment I have a few things happening, which is great! I am really looking forward to seeing what happens next, as long as I can keep drawing I will be happy.

Work in progress, Coloured pencil

Close up of degree show drawings

"Elephant" was exhibited at MIWAS exhibition in august 2010 (I still need to get the photograph of it finished!)

This is the invite for Guildford Art@work and Clyde &co exhibition, I am doing a short speach about my work, little bit nervous!! But I love drawing so I'm sure I can find something to say!

Frozen moments of joy and fear.

Work for degree show!

This is the work framed, its a float mount frame, I wanted to remind people that the work is pencil on paper, that it is a drawing not normally thought of as final pieces of work.

This is the work I am currently producing manically to get ready for my degree show. They are detailed pencil drawings that i distort of move in some way to make a pattern.
