RECOGNITION

Arrived 1950 Caterham, Surrey.

My most embarrassing moment was being caught shoplifting a bracelet from Woolworth's when I was 12.
I wish it had been a more expensive item from a decent jewelers.

My biggest regret is not taking more chances in life.

I have been using Photoshop as part of my process since the 90’s. A rough collage is created and this is used as the reference for drawing the work onto canvas.
I work with acrylics in the early stages to speed up the painting process, they often produce accidents and challenges I incorporate into the final work. The freedom and loose quality of this keeps the painting immediate. Realistically painted areas contrast and create tension with bold brushstrokes and graphic elements. I work in series, exploring themes like the North Norfolk landscape, autoimmune liver disease, mythology and Jenny Holzer’s truisms.
