A short biography

I was born in the tiny rural parish of Standish in Gloucestershire, England. Standish is not far from the river Severn which separates England from Wales. My birthplace, is located in one of the most unspoiled parts of the English countryside, so, not surprisingly, nature is a key feature of my artworks.

My father was a tree expert, a keen environmentalist and botanist and I was always heavily involved with the environment. My mother was a successful craft potter. Growing up in Gloucestershire, I was constantly surrounded by artists - sculptors, painters and potters.

As a child, I was inspired by famous landscape painters such as Claude Lorraine, Joseph Turner and John Constable and took a keen interest in studying Art History and techniques. My interest in art is eclectic.

I have lived in White Nile Province, Sudan and Java Tenga (Indonesia). I am most fortunate because I now live in Oriental Mindoro on the beautiful island of Mindoro, Philippines.

Nowadays, the tropical beauty of Mindoro, its rain-forests, mountains and pristine beaches and its warm-hearted people are a great inspiration. I always admired Gauguin and wanted to retire to a tropical island and paint! I have found my tropical island…..

Some of my paintings come from memories of places I once visited, some are pure imagination.

I have exhibited in galleries in Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and the UK and have drawings and paintings in private collections in Saudi Arabia, Sudan, UK, Indonesia and the Philippines.

At present I am working in Al-Khobar Saudi Arabia although my heart is in Mindoro. I love the desert and this is my home away from home. My interest in photography and painting is the delicate play of color and light.
