ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A work made from a found image of a yellow baboon from a 60s illustrated annual on zoo animals. It came about as an accident as the background was made first and returned to when I realised that there was a city scape their and then the baboon was the last addition. The result for me points at the distance we have put between us and animals. I always use found wooden backgrounds to minimise any impact on the environment, and the way I paint has simply evolved over a number of years as a succession of problem solving strategies.

I make work about the division, opposition and collusion between animals and humans. Oil painting, drawing, assemblage, collage and the re-use of materials and objects are central to my work. Painting selected for the 171 RWA Open exhibition 2024, I won the Ovalhouse prize at Chelsea College of Art, and Gloucester University prize at the Open West. I was on the committee of the Newlyn Society of Artists for 6 years. I have exhibited in Berlin and Baku, Zdonov in the Czech Republic, London, Exeter and Birmingham and I am represented by Daisy Laing, Penzance. My work is in private collections in Hong Kong, USA, France, Italy, Germany and the UK.
