I qualified at degree level in Creative Photography at the London College of Printing and spent the next nine years as a professional photographer. 

In the early 90's I began painting again, beginning with life and portrait classes at Putney School of Art, while at the same time using the freedom offered by endless summer sunshine in the south of France to paint outdoors.

In France I have worked with a number of professional artists both from the UK and Europe to explore the process of abstracting from the landscape.  More recently I have moved to printmaking following summer schools at St Martins and Farnham art colleges.

The slow pace and layering of printmaking present their own challenges, but I have taken speed as my inspiration, utilising hundreds of photographs taken at Formula 1 races as a starting point for a less traditional approach to motor racing imagery. 

I recently acquired a studio in south London from which I hope to produce a series of London landscapes.  This will require a very different palette from the Mediterranean colours with which I am familiar, while the winter climate will present challenges, and to some extent dictate the medium in which I work.  I also want to experiment with scale, thereby moving out of my comfort zone.
