Staedtler Pencil IIII

“I developed an interest in art from a young age and studied it through to A level, even gaining an A*! After this, although I kept my art as a hobby, I pursued a quite different career in the construction industry.

​I joined the Crouch End Studios several years ago and was encouraged by fellow artists to keep going. It was only after selling my Artists’ Support Pledge coloured pencil drawings in a matter of minutes and gaining London gallery representation, that I realised, perhaps, that my work as an artist should form a bigger part of my life.

​I am inspired by everyday objects (such as my own pencils) and, particularly, how light reflects off different materials and the capturing of this within my work.

​I am interested in developing my craft and taking advantage of opportunities as they come my way.” Jamie
