I am a qualified architect with thirty years practising in London and Cambridge. I became a full time painter in 2016, after formal training in drawing and painting at The Royal Drawing School and The Essential School of Painting. 

The myths and fables of ancient Greece depicted in Italian Renaissance paintings are a source of inspiration which intermingle with current affairs and my own life experiences. Brushstrokes sweep across the canvas with movement and energy and a strong interplay of light and dark, depicting worlds that are ambiguous in meaning. As a counterpoint to these turbulent themes and as a complimentary source of imagery I also paint and draw from life, with the fenland landscape of Cambridgeshire and the orchard outside the studio being some of my favourite subjects.
