Wild Reflections, shown at The Market Gallery in Ashton, brought together a vibrant collection of wildlife portraits that focused on the character and individuality of each animal. Many of the pieces were inspired by my own reference photos taken in conservation focused zoos across the UK and Europe, allowing me to capture moments of personality that often go unnoticed. The exhibition highlighted endangered species, working animals and those frequently overlooked, using bright colour and bold layouts to encourage visitors to pause, reflect and connect with the animals we share our world with.

Untamed Art – 2025

Untamed Art brought together some of my most expressive and energetic pieces. Shown at The Pop Up in Stockport, the exhibition explored the individuality and spirit of each animal through bold colour, layered textures and a more confident, intuitive way of working. Many of the portraits were developed from my own reference photography taken in conservation‑focused zoos, deepening the connection I felt to each subject and strengthening the message behind the work.

Wildlife Unleashed – 2024

Wildlife Unleashed marked a shift towards more movement, emotion and atmosphere in my paintings. Exhibited at The Pop Up in Stockport, the show combined mixed media and oils to highlight the strength, fragility and character of the animals I’ve encountered in conservation focused zoos. It built on the foundations of my earlier work while pushing my colour palette and techniques in new directions, allowing the animals’ personalities to come through more clearly.

Wild Encounters – 2023

Wild Encounter was my debut solo exhibition at The Pop Up in Stockport and the starting point for my ongoing exploration of expressive wildlife portraiture. Featuring early works from my Colour Pop, Colour Splash and Colour Oils collections, the show introduced my approach to portraying endangered and often overlooked species. Many of the pieces were inspired by real encounters in conservation focused zoos, which continue to shape the way I connect with and depict each animal.
