a brief biog'


I was born in Peterborough and grew up in Oundle, Northamptonshire in a very artistic environment, as both my parents are
practising artists.

I'm a sculpture graduate of Bretton hall, university of leeds and I lived and worked as a sculptor in Wakefield, west Yorkshire
untill moving to London in 1999.  Here I retrained as a painter, specialising in portraits, I also worked freelance, designing
and constructing theatre sets and scenery.

I have worked as the Latymer Upper School Arts technician in Hammersmith, west London for the last ten years. (and yes..I do
still get school holidays!)

I currently live with my partner in Harlesden, north west London and have become involved in the local arts scene, exhibiting in the
local gallery. In addition,I've taken responsibility for a new online gallery that showcases the work of NW10's resident artists.

I would describe my work as eclectic and stylised, I'm influence by cubism and artists such as Euan Uglow and Francis Bacon.
I'm a keen photographer so the  starting point for all my work comes from my own photography.

Hope you enjoy my website and keep an eye out for new work coming soon......
