About

 

I live in London and have been doing painting and photography for over 40 years.

After graduating from Hornsey School of Art (Middlesex University) in 1985, I was a Postgraduate Teaching Fellow and Artist-in-Residence at Christ's Hospital School in Horsham, West Sussex.

I exhibited widely throughout the late 1980's and 90's in major London galleries such as the Serpentine Gallery and the Royal Academythe Contemporary Art Society as well as in many private gallery group shows.

A serious spinal injury in the mid 1990's left me disabled, in chronic pain and unable to paint for many years. I underwent surgery in 1999 and, in time, regained some of my mobility and very gradually got back to painting.

In 2006, I became much more interested in photography as a way of picture-making.

 

I'm interested in humanism, sociology, architecture, scientific theory, technology, industry and history and the visual representations of such.

About recollections of past events, about the inconsistency of memory and the unreliability of perception.

About the way we live now. About how we treat other people and animals, and have the power to manipulate the environment regardless of the consequences.

The vastness of the world and the awesome, unrelenting power and grandeur of nature.

Also, anything else that is interesting, dramatic, mysterious, annoying, beautiful, ugly or surprising.
