About The Artist

Born in 1946 in Merseyside UK I studied painting in London at the Central School of Art and Design and at the Slade. I fell out of the gallery system when I switched from painting landscapes to cracks in walls, dripping with existential angst. Over the years I earned my living by doing graphics, animation, illustration and textile design, all to support my painting habit and let it unfold without pressure. I became ensnared in Photo Realist paintings. A series of life events then sent me into a nosedive. On recovery with help,, I then discovered my painting territory at the tender age of 45. I am still exploring that territory, obsessed with painting and not dead yet.
