Painter - After leaving Art College I spent 20 years as a full-time freelance artist, held several solo exhibitions and sold paintings worldwide. Then came the advent of digital technology when I took to experimenting with computer-based imagery both still and moving. I have now rediscovered painting in oils on canvas.

Video maker and digital artist
Reality distorting, multi-layered moving image altering time and place. Colour-conscious atmospheric and often symmetrical illusions. Recording reality then transforming it into something completely different.
