Born 1987, Nottingham, England.

Currently works & lives in Derbyshire.

Started painting in oils circa 2019. Martin is known for his representational oil paintings, mainly of his local area and home. He likes to paint from life, Plein-Air, as well as in the studio. His work incorporates a sense of realism mixed with abstraction and atmosphere.

“I always try to paint the world the way I see it, I see paintings everywhere I look, wherever I am. I want the viewer to see what I do, to pause and look at the world around them, to realise how lucky we all are, to take note of the simple ordinary things that surround us, and to see how wonderful they really are.”

“To paint is to be present, to look and observe, a simple act that we all do far too rarely in our busy daily lives. I hope my paintings bring a sense of fun, contemplation, and intrigue; enough for you to pause and see the world as I feel it.”
