THE ARTIST

I have been drawing and painting and creating since an early age. I attended Chester School of Art foundation course and then a BA (Honours) degree at Central St Martins in the UK, where I was brought up, in the south (Kent), but with family roots in Yorkshire. After my degree I continued to paint in earnest for a few years, was involved in a few exhibitions and took part in a performance piece at the Tate London, however eventually after meeting my wife Carol and starting a family I entered into the IT systems arena. I followed a career in IT for many years while sporadically working on drawings and paintings as well as producing rafts of doodled drawings in notebooks at work, which I wish I had kept I have now returned to painting in earnest and full time, operating between studios at Lake of Bays and Oakville in Ontario, Canada.
