A slice of my back story…

I grew up in the North East of England on a farm , that was on the outskirts of a mining village. I was fortunate to have comfortable surrounds but so aware that some people in the village still had earth floors in their homes. The contrast was evident to me at a very young age. 

Drawing figures has always been a passion as I revel in observation. Yet I have also been captivated with landscapes and both have featured in previous solo exhibitions.

Recently may work has changed direction suddenly , although it does show evidence of continuum if you think about it. It still connects to figurative drawing and my immediate surroundings.

3 questions..

How our immediate surroundings mould us?

Who are we?

Where are we heading?

My exciting news for 2025 … a piece from my current ongoing project has been selected by London Art Biennale VII Edition - wow- what a privilege!!  

If you want to chat or visit my studio on the outskirts Dartmoor let me know- I work in an ancient stone barn near Ashburton.
