Having graduated with a Masters degree from the University of Surrey in England, Neil first started painting in 1986 in The Hague in Holland.
His early works were abstract oil on canvas inspired by the great cities of The Hague, Amsterdam and the flat, wide open spaces of the Netherlands.
In the late 1980's Neil moved back to England holding his first exhibition of abstract watercolours.
In 1989 Neil moved to New York where he continued his work resulting in a show of abstract works in paper (collage), oil on canvas and a series of inks.
Returning to England in the early 1990's Neil went through a prolific phase working with oils and acrylics on canvas holding his biggest exhibition in Covent Garden in London, England.
Moving to Paris in 1995 Neil's work became more stark, resulting in a series of ink abstracts on paper inspired by the architecture around St. Sulpice and Le Sorbonne.
In great contrast Neil then moved to Sydney, Australia for eight years, painting large scale oils and acrylics on canvas inspired by the lush colours of the sea, sky, sand and palms. Neil held several exhibitions in Sydney and Brisbane.
Moving back to England in 2004, Neil has been experimenting with a series of media including acrylic spray on paper (the works in this web site) and back to one of his favourite media, ink - online soon.
