My childhood began in South East London at the end of the Second World War. It was a time when families lived within streets of each other sharing life's gladness and sadness. The environment was close-knit as fathers worked and mothers looked after the home and children.
As a child I was inquisitive, always asking, prying, exploring and wanting to know everything and do everything. My imagination led me to grand ideas of my future: to become a film star or a Bohemian artist but instead spent thirty years behind a drawing board as a draughtsperson.
Eventually my adventurous spirit led me to Falmouth where in 1994 at the ripe age of 49 I took a Foundation Course in Art and Design at the Falmouth College of Art and continued to graduate in 1999 with a BA Fine Art (hons).
My visit to Cyprus feeds and influences my imagination with its antiquity and modern examples of architecture and structures. Hence my work has taken on a new morbid meaning of deterioration and decay. As these structures are eaten away by time and the elements, in turn this re-invents and creates a new beauty.
