'My earliest memories of drawing and painting are of early school and preschool years. Growing up in a Roman Catholic community we were surrounded by religious narrative art, mostly from the Renaissance period. At school I was encouraged to paint and draw this kind of art, some of which remained hanging on display long after I left school. Outside of school my interest was in fantasy art, comics, horror/ Sci-Fi movies and books. During my teenage years music became a major importance in my life. Particularly the Post-Punk genre of the 1980's and 90's. From this point Cover Art, Tattoos, Occult Art and Symbolism, Graphic Novels and Graffiti Art had a big impact on my imagination.
