Painting Detail
In my childhood living near the docks on the River Thames in London certain memories always remain. One is the advertising that appeared on hoardings and walls on the side of buildings, some that you can still see today. I always remembered the Guinness smiling face and decided to do a painting of it. I combined it with the memory of Monday when it was washing day, and guess what? It always rained. At some point in the future I want to paint the Bisto Kids. The Guinness ad must have had a profound effect as it led to my future in the Advertising Industry.

I was born and raised in Chiswick, I live and work from my studio in the small village Swainsthorpe, in the beautiful countryside just outside of Norwich, Norfolk in the UK. I have been painting and drawing all my life, although it was only in 2008 that I began to paint full time after gradually winding down my graphic design consultancy that I ran with my wife, Pauline. I paint a wide variety of subjects. My love of London, Aviation, Automobiles and Space have been an active subject in my work, particularly the latter where I have begun to explore Abstraction. The complexity of Mathematics and Equations, although maybe not understanding them does not mean I can't explore their beauty with paint. The wonders of the Universe and Astro-physics fascinate and as man explores those wonders so do I in my capacity as an artist. My work has been exhibited at Galleries in Cornwall, Noffolk, Suffolk, Cambridge and London, as well as two one man shows in Norwich.
