without life there is no light. without light there is no life.

I trained at Walsall school of Art,

after my studies I entered the world of advertising as a visualiser/designer,

then as an art director working in several Midlands Advertising Agencies.

For over 20 years I worked as a freelance graphic designer/art director.

I have now been painting full time since 2000.

Much of my work is based on the mood, atmosphere and light effects of the subject.

Cornwall and Devon are also a great inspiration.

Music is another inspirer, from Bach to Hendrix, all creating a mood that is expressed through my work.

A reflection in water, a shaft of light, how I am feeling at a particular moment are translated through colour and movement onto the canvas.

In some of my work there is a serene calm, in others a threatening storm, these are drawn from what I have seen or emotions I have experienced.

Since 2000 I have exhibited in galleries throughout the UK.

Prices range from £150 - £1,000
