Incorporating the philosophy of wabi-sabi, Cliff skillfully navigates the interplay of imperfection and transience in his art.

Cliff studied art & design at North Staffordshire Polytechnic before heading to Liverpool Polytechnic in 1981 to complete a degree in fine art.


His work primarily explores the themes of solitude and reflection. Fashion and street photography have also influenced these themes and his personal aesthetic over his career. His work also explores fashion illustration where he has contributed for showstudio.com for the Milan A/W 2022 fashion week.
