 Resident in London in the 60s/70s the events of which triggered my painting career, I have lived and worked in South Devon for the last 28 years.
Being a self-taught painter I have been able to find my unique style of painting and drawing which explores the joys and fears of humankind.
I have learned much by watching other artists at work and from the words of those I consider to be masters of art such as Mark Rothko:
"A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive beholder. It dies by the same token. It is therefore a risky and unfeeling act to send it into the world."
I feel that it is worth the risk, as do collectors of my work.
People ask me what my paintings mean and why some are untitled. My reply is:
" To name some of my paintings would limit the viewer's response. They mean whatever the viewer sees in them. But that individual meaning must not be seen as the artist's intention."
I have exhibited at The Atkinson Gallery, Millfield Summer Show 2011: Daventry Street Gallery, London: Exeter Phoenix 2008: The Chapel Gallery, Bruton: The Turner Gallery, Exeter: Birdwood House, Totnes: :
