I have been a professional artist for over 25 years, working largely in figurative sculpture and photography. I take a multidisciplinary approach, creating highly finished, museum quality artworks from my UK and USA studios.

Kairen Kemp & Giada del Drago dive into & comment on current arts & culture topics.
Jamie has been up to his sociopolitical tricks again but this time his focus is nipples! He took to the streets of Brighton to ‘nipple-bomb’ the city with hundreds of plaster cast nipple fridge magnets as part of the #FreeTheNipple campaign
