Features:

I always wanted to paint.  I worked at White Studio Exhibition Gallery in Beaumont Common earlier on but somehow my fears and life’s vicissitudes held me back.

I started painting after the death of my mother and was encouraged by another successful painter.  The decorative art of William Morris and painters like Rousseau have influenced me. Most of all I like to tell a story.

The circus and cakes became a vehicle to express life situations (tongue in cheek).  The Phantom appears in my early work as an observer.

This exhibition of landscapes reflect my time in the southern vales district and I am presently working on icons of the landscape.
