About Me

Artistic pursuits have featured strongly throughout my life. Some of my happiest days are spent painting or sitting at the piano. There's a freedom to be found when playing the piano, particularly when composing. And it's a similar feeling when working with paint. With the piano, there are no rules - melody, harmony and discord are all available tools, and, in the same way, there are no constraints when creating an abstract painting.

Before I started the MA in 2024, my work tended to fall into the category of either semi-abstract landscape, or non-representational abstract. I decided to use my MA year to further explore abstraction and my most recent work is mainly non-representational - ie it has no recognisable features. 

My painting process is spontaneous and gestural, and I often find myself utilising classical painting techniques such as sgraffito and scumbling. I'm pretty much in control, but an element of each painting remains pleasingly unpredictable.

As at 15 August 2025, the work that I created during my MA year has not yet been added to the website. Please watch this space!

You can see some of my available work at The Gaff - a wonderful Michelin Guide listed restaurant in Abergavenny, South Wales.  Please have a look at my 'current exhibitions' page too.

I'm also happy to have visitors to my studio by appointment, so please drop me a line if you'd like to arrange a time to come.

I am currently studying for an MA in Fine Art at Hereford College of Arts 2024/25.

PLEASE leave me your name and email address on my 'contact' page and I'll let you know when and where I'm exhibiting - thank you.
