History

Since leaving Kingston University in 1991 I have been working as a professional artist with commissions for a variety of clients around the globe. In 2002  Mimilove.co.uk was born providing a range of artworks from "pop art" style contemporary portraits for both individual and commercial clients.

In 2004/5 a selection of my works appeared at the Birmingham Nec as part of the Memorabilia UK show, it was here that several paintings were signed by celebrities including Hollywood superstar David Carridine, "Bill" in Quentin Tarrantino's Kill Bill movies and former Bond girl Britt Ekland. The sporting heroes World Cup winner Sir Geoff Hurst MBE and boxing legend Sir Henry Cooper OBE also signed pieces and the Henry Cooper painting was eventually sold at Sotheby's sporting memorabilia sale later that year!

Since then I have been involved with provding bespoke illustrations and artworks for one of the UK's premier recording facilities Blast Recording, VIFI Award winning indi film maker's Brand New Films and children's author Beki Hough.  A collaboration with promoter Steve Wraith and Punk legend and former Sex Pistol Glen Matlock helped to raise funds for children's charity The Bubble Foundation UK.   I have also worked with former Scorpions keyboard player and prog rock musician John Young and I am currently involved in a project with grafitti/street artists Id iom

Over the past 2 years I have moved away from the large scale "pop art" acrylics and have combined my new found love of embroidery with painting producing mixed media works including a range of Cockney Sparrows and Budgie Stufferies and a unique pet portrait service which can be found around the globe from Alaska to Australia!
