Profile
Following several years working as a Graphic Designer during the 1980’s I then
concentrated on working as an Illustrator and Fine Artist throughout the 1990’s
and supplemented my income as a Graphic Design/illustration teacher for
‘Access’ students at the London College of Printing, London.
Towards the end of this decade I became interested in Antiques and
between 2001 - 2011 I lived in Northern France and worked
solely as an Antique Dealer. Today I live in Spain.
solely as an Antique Dealer. Today I live in Spain.
My paintings were always about how as individuals we leave our mark on this
world and my experience within the sphere of antiques has fed this obsession.
Today I feel the need to, once again, express my ‘obsession’ visually…
