CURRICULUM VITAE

I currently work from Commercial Square Studios, along with 11 other artists. My time is divided between developing my own work, working on commission pieces and being involved in various community projects. I find this is a very good balance and fully embrace the idea that the artist should be someone who interacts with the community as well as working in a more solitary way in the studio. 

Examples of my work can be seen by clicking the Gallery links. Please note all my latest tempera work has its own gallery within the Gallery Egg Tempera link.

Commissions:

Over the years, I have done much commissioned work, most notably:

•  In 2002 I was commissioned to paint two large, semi abstract pictures for the Managing Director’s office at Johnson & Johnson.MSD in High Wycombe.
•  I also produced a site-specific piece for the Board Room of another international company, that of Janssen-Cilag in Saunderton, based in High Wycombe.
• Commission for the Dordogne - I have recently finished a large commission, which has now been installed in a holiday house in the Dordogne. It is a large painting (4’ x 5’), oil on canvas, based on aspects of the landscape surrounding the house there and perfectly captures the sun-drenched landscape.
• In 2005 I worked on a dyptych for a musician incorporating many elements of music and instruments to produce two large collages showing many aspects of his musical life.
• In 2006 as part of a complete refit and reburbishment of a large house in Marlow, situated on the river, I completed a 4' x 4' Amaryllis painting for the dining room there.
