After 30 years in regeneration and development, I became a professional photographer, working primarily for commercial clients in the UK and Europe, until retiring and joyously tumbling back into painting. 

More interested in expression than representation, painting for me is a mindful and meditative experience.  In a world of distractions and white noise I’m able to focus on the present moment. 

I relish the process, enjoying the physicality and tactility of hands-on connection with tools and materials, adding and subtracting media to manipulate and experiment with art elements and principles.

I enjoyed a decade as a Trustee of Liverpool Biennial, the UK’s largest festival of contemporary visual art, and remain a judge and mentor with the Guild of Photographers. 

I use Instagram to collect together links to awesome artists in one place - a bottomless well of inspiration.
