About My Art

I have been working as a graphic artist and art director in London for 20 years now, and though my very creative job allows me to draw on a daily basis (something I never take for granted), I wanted to explore other areas of art merely touched upon during my art education. Thus I have explored acrylics and loose watercolours which suit my bold style. My 'graphic artist' background often shines through and pieces often retain a 'poster-esque' feel about them. My own artistic 'heroes' are David Hockney; Edward Hopper; the Impressionists and many others. I always strive for simplicity, not for me the small brush and intricate detail. I like the bold and striking. If expressed with flair, all the better. Which probably explains my recent interest in linocuts, a very suitable medium for the bold mark-maker.I hope you appreciate the same and look forward to expanding my galleries very soon.
