I have always drawn. I've always wanted to record things, to break down the contours of my surroundings and reinterpret them. Throughout my early years working in window display design I was forever sketching, doing watercolours and working with oils and pastels. I now combine painting with photography." I am lucky enough to have a wonderful studio near by.... For several years I was co-director of an Art Gallery, now, when I am not in the studio, I organize independent and charity exhibitions. I have exhibited and sold work mainly in Sussex, Hampshire, Birmingham, Kent and London. Commissions have been taken to America, France, Germany and Spain.
art heroes are KEITH VAUGHAN, FRANK AUERBACH, NICOLAS DO STAEL, EUAN UGLOW, PETER IDEN,
