Biography

I was born in Lancashire in 1969, and began painting and exhibiting professionally in 1995 after completing a BA (Hons) Degree at the Cardiff institute University of Wales. In 1997 I opened the West Warf Gallery in Cardiff, with my business partner, offering exhibition space for burgeoning artists. After it, sadly, had to close, and through many ups and downs, I have since lived and worked as a practising artist in both the UK and USA. I work in oils and acrylic. Lately, I've been experimenting with 'doodles,' an abstract, stream of conciousness approach to capturing memories and ideas, finding them sometimes in random patterns, then embellishing and/or juxtaposing them with more figurative elements here and there, especially when the memory becomes more distinct. You can see, and buy, some of my work at the Ironbridge Gallery website.
