• Designing packaging for high end brands such as Jaeger, Dunhill, Gieves & Hawkes.

• “Closing-a-deal” when working on a 100% commission basis, following a tight selling strategy.

• Selling my own paintings, I fully understand how an artist feels, the time involved in the creative process and the framing process.

• Studying Art history and Fine Art , I have a passion for the great artists of the past, and also for contemporary artists of today, of which I know many.

• Selling with discretion to high profile customers such as Celebrity presenter and Marlow resident:- Chris Evans and to the Rowing legend, Steve Redgrave and Chief-Whip MP Joy Morrisey. I've have also exhibited with Beth Cullen-Kerridge.

• I have a knowledge on the local area and I understand how to take advantage of forthcoming calendar events such as “Pub-in-the-park” , Henley Regatta and Marlow Town Regatta.

• I am a passionate about Marlow having grown up here I feel very lucky as Marlow community is very special and I have developed multiple personal connections. I am also a member of the Marlow Chamber of Commerce where I also network with Marlow based businesses and have first hand knowledge of the latest developments.

• I believe there are lots of reasons why people buy art, and in some ways I think its like holding up a mirror to the customer and reflecting back what they wish to see, which may well be gratification, a sense of recognition that confirms a customers achievements and/or aspirations, a sense of well being and satisfaction.
