Hello!
I live in Carlisle, England, been married a few times ;0) and have three wonderful children. I'm primarily a self taught artist and work in many styles and mediums...Sculpture, 3D relief, Painting, Assemblage and will use any material/medium I feel is appropriate or is to hand or because it's regenerative. Experimentation is important to my artwork and I like to let the subconscious mind play and interact through the artworks allowing for spontaneous decisions and intuition guiding the outcome/finished piece.
Writing is something else I love to do, short stories and having completed a novel last year (available for free from my website) I also create board games and word/word number games. I have a word game website providing original and unique games! I now have a series of books available for those who like a challenge, available from my website, CreateSpace and Amazon.
Soooo, after spending many years in the construction industry as a multi-skilled trades person (plastering, tiling, carpentry etc) I am now persuing a career in the art world and to honour a calling I've felt for many (many)years.
Studies over 25 years have led me to the micro and macro worlds both physical and metaphysical, including Spirituality, ...
