ABOUT
EDUCATION
RECOGNITION

My paintings are mainly of fruits and vegetables. I set them out with order and geometry to present a vivid colour experience.
I love the ordinary everyday things in life and show them in a different way for a fresh look at them.
I aim to elevate the mundane.

The paintings are supplemented by ink drawings on paper which explore themes of three dimensional space and receding surfaces.

For most of my life I have worked as calligrapher and letter carver.
Some examples of my lettering work are shown here, in which extracts from the literary greats are carved into humble house bricks.

I also show some other paintings including my painted renditions of Fontana's slashed canvases.

I live and work in the city of Canterbury, UK

Certificate in Advanced and Experimental Lettering, City and Guilds of London Art School
