Biography
|
I was born in London but now reside in the English countryside of Shropshire.I am 55 years old and although I have painted since a small boy I have only done so , full time, since Sept 01.I am eager for feedback so would welcome any comments and ,like most other artists I am sure, am desperate for sales...otherwise I will have to cease painting full time and try to find some employment....therefor please consider buying also.

Statement
|
My imagery has been much influenced by my fairly recent move into a rural landscape which , combined with the ageing process,has softened my approach to something approaching thoughtfullnes, I think.
I am attempting to find some kind of harmony between style and content where a thought can be provoked , a narrative outlined, an emotion released whilst still retaining something visualy pleasing.I hope you allow a second look at some of the images and follow some of their questions.
It is possible in this 'Post...whatever'age to think conceptualy but retain a love for the visual.

Exhibitions
|
I have shown single pictures in various London Galleries and held three one man exhibitions localy.
Through April ( '04) I have a show at Bridgnoth Library which may not set the art world on fire but remains pleasing to me.
