I qualified with a BA in Fine Art in 1982 and after a career in FE and HE I retired early in 2018. I make paintings and sculpture based on real and remembered landscapes presented together to suggest non-linear narratives. In 2004 I took timeout to study an MA in Creative Technology working with 3d modelling and real/virtual environments reflecting the superimposition of memory over place.

I use a combination of installation and Virtual Reality to create an immersive experience exploring the translation of reality into art through interventions such as drawing. The installations include spoken word and film alongside Augmented Reality and traditional painting and sculpture. The Virtual Reality environments walk the participants through a series of spaces made from photographs, drawings and 3d models accompanied by poetry, sound and film. I am currently studying machine learning and developing my skills with AR and VR.
