About Me
Art, photography, and design have been at the heart of my life for over six decades. My creative journey began in infant school, where drawing and painting were instinctive pleasures, unrestrained and full of curiosity. It was there that teachers first told me, “You’re quite good at art,” and from that moment, a path in the arts seemed inevitable.
In 1965, I was thrilled to be admitted to Kingston School of Art & Design. Although my time there was cut short when I accepted a management apprenticeship with an airline, leading to a 35-year career in aviation, my passion for the visual arts never waned.
Photography
Photography became my first true creative outlet. Starting with street photography as a hobbyist, I eventually worked as a documentary and editorial photographer. My work has been exhibited internationally, including at:
Truman Gallery, London, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, London, Mall Gallery, London, Klompching Gallery, New York, Maddermarket Gallery, Norwich, Spazio Tetenal, Rome.
Awards including: Award of Merit, Grand Prix de la Découverte, Finalist, LensCulture Connect – Open Series, Association of Photographers (AOP) Awards, Winner, Black and White International Award. Winner, LensCulture Exposure Awards Juror's Choice
In the mid-1970s, I was appointed an Olympus Cameras Ambassador. Later, I gained a Diploma in Journalism from the British School of Journalism and pursued freelance editorial and documentary photography, including projects in the townships of post-Mandela South Africa.
Painting & Art
From the 1990s, I turned increasingly to painting, creating “geometric” artworks inspired by post-war American artists and in particular the Russian artist Kazimir Malevich. After moving to North Norfolk in the early 2000s, I began to paint in a modernist style the structural forms of old wooden working boats, such as crab boats, seen along the coast near my home. Occasionally, I explore still-life composition in the "flattened perspective" manner of the post-impressionists.
My limited editions artworks and photography are available for purchase online through Cloud 9 Editions and at Saatchi Art.
