I’m an abstract artist, working mostly in oils, inspired by nature. My work sits somewhere between abstracted landscape, fantasy and lyrical abstraction. I call them dreamscapes. They are meditations on nature, spirit and memory capturing moments of mood in an ever changing environment.

I was born in Kent, UK and have lived in London, Leicester and Auckland, New Zealand. I’ve been painting and drawing since my early teens. I studied Art and then Graphic Design and worked as a designer for 25 years, juggling running a design practice with painting and exhibiting my art. My paintings often appeared in design projects as covers for classical CDs or illustrations for various corporate and not-for-profit clients. Gradually the art took over from the design. 

I began exhibiting in Auckland in several galleries from 2010 to 2016. Then from 2016 onwards in the UK I have exhibited at:

Leicester Museum and Art Gallery

Newarke Houses Museum, Leicester

Loughborough Town Hall Gallery

LCB Depot Gallery, Leicester

Liberation Gallery, Brighton

Circle Gallery, Berkshire

Aura/Soho, Guildford

Aura/Soho, Nottingham

Tarpey Gallery, Castle Donington

The Old Lock Up Gallery, Derbyshire

Dotty Gallery, Leicestershire

Northern Exposure gallery, Bollington

Smolensky Gallery, Manchester

My work has also featured at Edinburgh and Manchester Art Fairs

Besides painting I’m also a musician. I made two albums back in the 90’s and played all the London dives to literally 10’s of people. I’m currently working on an ambient album in conjunction with my series of abstracts and landscapes inspired by Beacon Hill and play in an indie rock band called Heart of the Hydra.
