Born - Bournemouth

I used to paint posters for my bording school dances, then psychedelic murals on club walls in London. Well, at least what I thought that word meant! Went on to do music, TV scriptwriting and landscaping. Back to art and music now and enjoying using modern tools.

Creative inspiration? From anybody who creates anything one can get lost or found in.
So many...my parents took me to the Louvre and Palace of Versailles as a boy, I recall leaving stunned at the splendour, and then spending the next three weeks drawing pictures of Louis X1V furniture. We also went to that amazing Dutch gallery surrounded by a moat, the artworks in there were like photos, fabulous. Art can take the viewer into an irresistible world, whether familiar or new.
