Sobre el Artista

I graduated in art history from Brighton University's School of Historical and Critical Studies in 2003 and from the Shakespeare Institute of Birmingham University in 2005. My work is on the borderline between art and design; informed by my interests in architectural history, production design for theatre and film and the work of Inigo Jones. When not drawing and painting; I read, watch film/television adaptations of Shakespeare, design and construct theatre sets, costumes and masks, visit castles, art galleries and museums and go for long walks as an alternative to lengthy periods of studio time.
