Wimbledon was a turning point, rekindling my enthusiasm for sculpture and 3D design. Since leaving college I have worked in advertising, illustrated books and magazines, run a yacht chandlery and taught art and design. Currently, I have an art and graphic design practice in Southsea. I am interested in the effect of light and reflection, often combining graphics and sculpture in an attempt to bridge the gap between the two disciplines.
Inspiration largely comes from mythology, the sea and social or environmental issues.
I have a fascination with the sea, painting its many moods and producing sculpture and installations inspired by water. Always a keen yachtsman, I have enjoyed sailing a wide variety of craft since my childhood in Suffolk. I have had many years experience as a teacher and workshop leader in Further and Adult Education. I now contribute to the Art Space Portsmouth Adult Education programme by teaching Life Drawing and Life Modelling in Clay.
