Back to profiles

My work is founded on a preference for geometry, contrasts of lightness/shadow and concealment/disclosure all realised through principally minimal monochromatic paintings, prints and drawings I studied at Northampton School of Art, Maidstone College of Art, the Slade and University of Wales, Cardiff. I have been a lecturer at Maidstone & Hereford Colleges of Art and University of Wolverhampton.

“The daydream transports the dreamer outside the immediate world to a world that bears a mark of infinity” Gaston Bachelard : The Poetics of Space

For more than two decades my work has been informed by notions of spatiality, not of the everyday world, but rather an inner one that is highly personal and introspective. This world lies within and beyond day and night dreams - the subconscious, the spiritual, the emotional and intuitive.

I’m drawn to spaces that offer psychological journeys. In its simplest form a dark space might offer refuge while leaving blackness for partial light could present space for elucidation and contemplation.
