My studio base in Carshalton lets me create work in a variety of ways as a multi disciplinary contemporary fine artist. The work I am currently focused on is recording locations across the UK, following popular walks and trails to work quickly on sketches or final works 'plein air.' This hopefully gives my work a vitality and freshness that is becoming increasingly popular with collectors and galleries alike.
I have been working within the creative industries for over 25 years. Starting in broadcast media, then progressing onto visual arts as an artist, workshop leader, teacher and project manager/events organiser. Exhibitions have included individual and group shows, I am an elected member of Chelsea Art Society (CAS) and ArtCan, have be selected to exhibit with a number of other high profile societies including the ING Discerning Eye, The Drawing Paper, The Royal Society of British Artists, Croydon Arts Society, and the United Society of Artists.
To support my art practice, I teach art at Coulsdon Sixth Form College and I am the brains and drive behind the hugely popular Carshalton Artists and their Open Studios. CAOS celebrates the vibrant Carshalton visual arts scene and can be viewed every year, in the last week of June and the first week of July. If you wish to explore my work more I would be happy to conduct studio tours, from my studio in South London.
