Summary

From a young age I’ve had a passion for art, exploring international artists and cultures, which has become extremely important to me. I started collecting art at the age of 15 with my first purchase being a Robert Motherwell signed print, entitled ‘Sea’. Since then, I have frequently attended private viewings and exhibitions forming firm relationships with Mark Goodger of Hampton Antiques, Geoffrey Parton of Marlborough Fine Art, Constance Aehlig of the Bernard Jacobson Gallery, Caroline Wiseman of Caroline Wiseman Modern & Contemporary, and Graham Simper of Thompson's Galleries.

Over a period of 3 months, I carried out research into teenage behaviour in airports. I presented to Robbie Gill (Managing Director of The Design Solution) and Susan Whelan (Senior Executive Vice President Of King Power and CEO of Leicester City Football Club) a powerpoint presentation of my found data- 'Teenage Commercial Behaviour at Aiports'.

My dreams

One day

My ambition for as long as I can remember is to eventually become an art dealer. From a very young age, I was fortunate enough to gain hands on experience through my Father in buying and selling art, and at times going solo to form our beloved art collection, which I continue to build to this very day. Travelling to new places to experience new art and culture is something that is very important to me.

Make every future a success.
