I
was born and educated in England before moving to
Johannesburg, South Africa in my late teens. Initially
I trained in the Graphic Arts and then went on to
a working life in advertising and photography.
On returning to Britain in 1978, I worked for the
photographic department of the Courtauld Institute
of Art, London. I came to Bristol in 1989 and was
in a position at last, to give all my time to the
study and practice of Fine Art.

SOME FACTS
ABOUT MY WORK
The mainspring of my work is
the expression of my feelings about my experience
of the world.
When I work with paint, colour and the graphic
mark are my means of expression.
Feelings create a mood and colour and line
are prime expressive tools for this.
Colour, with its endless juxtapositions, re-creates
the mood of my feelings about the experience
and the actuality of the world about me.
Line and mark weave through and around the
colour, connecting and dividing the areas,
and give a sense of passing time.
I work in the abstract and the semi-abstract
with figurative elements used to express my
meaning.
I never work directly from subject, but evoke
my responses to the subject in the studio
where I hope to recreate the mood and atmosphere
that are important to me in my work. |
