ABOUT

ME

...... I started painting a copy of a "Caravaggio"

at Kingston College of Art back in 1974. It was

there that I graduated with a Fine Art honours

degree in 1976 and after an eleven year gap, I

eventually finished my copy of "Supper at Emmaus" in 1987.

...... became a passion of mine during my time at art college.

I subsequently went on to have a successful career as an

animator/art director on many TV commercials, spanning

almost 40 years. I also worked on a feature length film in

America, as well as several children's cartoon series,

including "Tractor Tom" and "Fireman Sam".

....is where I now spend many

a happy hour, painting. It's in

the back garden of my home

in Dorset.

I have now managed to develop a much looser style, very

unlike the days of my Caravaggio painting that I started at

college. I enjoy experimenting with plenty of texture,

including egg shells, sand, bits of fibre, material, heavy

medium gel and whatever I feel will enhance my work.

....well yes of course....... but maybe not always......couldn't

resist making an addition to the sign for "GLUE HILL", the

road opposite my house.
