D.O.B. 2/5/1949

EDUCATED: Tonbridge School and Birmingham University. I took science A levels at Tonbridge and studied Psychology at Birmingham. However I did not complete the degree and left university after two years in order to pursue my spiritual and artistic interests. This involved extensive travelling and visiting various communities in the UK, Europe and India. It was at that time that I developed an interest in Mandala Art which has been my speciality all my adult life. I have had many exhibitions over the years and can provide supporting documents for some of them, especially the more recent ones. I have also given workshops and talks over the years and taken a teaching course PGCE. In 1983 I started a publishing business with two friends called Mandala Prints and that has facilitated the distribution of my work worldwide. As well as selling my work in printed form I have sold originals and received commissions too numerous to recall in detail.

OTHER RELATED ACTIVITIES

In recent years I have explored and developed artistic and design skills in the context of the computer. This has enabled me to publish my book SACRED CIRCLES, write my own web site www.mandalas.co.uk and print an ever growing collection of designs and prints.. I have also been able to offer my Desk Top Publishing and Web Design skills to a small number of clients. In recent years I have pursued my childhood interest in photography and now sell my photos in printed form as cards and prints along with the mandalas.,
