How would you describe the work you do and why?: 

I am a painter who often works in the limnal space of relief. Here the surface is not fully round but does alter depending on the light. I try to capitalise on this. I do not carve or really mould as such but construct the surface.
As for why, I used to think it was because I had a dissatifaction with the world which I could in some way improve [or at least wholly control a small part of.] These days I sense that if I stopped I would be lesser and probably a tad duller than I already am.

For you what does being an artist mean?: 

Tantamount to a vow of poverty. Lucky then that there are social and intellectual benefits.

Describe what you call yourself/your practice?: 

A painter in the pursuit of balance.

CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice: 

My B.A. was at what is now The University for the Creative Arts in Farnham where I studied metalwork. Later I studied Painting at the same Instiution but at the Canterbury campus.

Exhibitions in the last 3 years: 

I have shown at the Green Dragon since 2022.
