I started painting a copy of a "Caravaggio"
As a student ......
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.
Animation ......
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".
My studio ....
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.
