artist's biography
“I like to travel and enjoy the new sights and senses of different locations. This does not necessarily mean trips to foreign lands, thought provoking sights are also on your doorstep.
Shared history is inspiring. Looking back through the layers of paint and paper on the walls of an old house draws you into the lives of those who lived there. The worn surface of religious paintings and artefacts remind you of the passion of the artist and the devotion of the people.
Surfaces offer intrigue. Texture, layering and mark making engage the viewer and offer new areas of concentration. My large scale works use schlagg metal to offer surface reflection and the new smaller works combine gesso panels with real gold, silver and metal leaf to give a composition which is both contemporary and traditional.”
D.O.B. 1955
