He is a student of early medieval history and religion, especially that of Ireland. His work is inspired by the stories of Irish saints and early Christianity and he also draws ideas from his personal experiences of the world today.
His paintings often include landmarks of his hometown Brighton.
Jeremy said: "I always find it difficult writing statements about my art because it’s a totally unintellectual, visceral experience.
“The work records my spiritual journey towards attaining some kind of clarity in a chaotic modern world.
“My main interests are people and belief systems. That leads me to God and his intercessors on earth, the saints.
“I don’t try to make any sense of it, I just want to honour the idea. I see myself working in the same continuum as Mesolithic cave painters, medieval manuscript masters and modern street artists."
