I studied Painting at the Royal Academy Schools (postgraduate) and Central St Martins College of Art in London. My Prizes and awards include Contemporary British Painting Award 2023, Discerning Eye 2022, Wells contemporary 2021, Castellon Painting Prize (Spain) 2006, Abbey fellowship in painting at the British School at Rome 2005, the Stanley Picker fellowship in painting 2002, Elephant charity commission. I exhibit widely nationally and internationally. MyGroup shows and solo shows include Hastings Contemporary, the Royal Academy, The Transpalette and Drac galleries in France, Ecole Nationale des Beaux Arts de Valence, France, École Nationale des Beaux Arts de Bourges France, Skåpet Gallery in Sweden, Ruskin Gallery, Cambridge, UK, Académie Royale des Beaux Arts Brussels, Venice Biennale program. Private gallery shows include London, Boston, LA, Spain, Italy, France.
The work is held in Public and private collections. I have been a Senior painting lecturer at Camberwell College of Art for nearly two decades and taught at many Art Schools around the country. The work is featured in several articles and publications and will be the subject of an upcoming book with writer Dr Richard Davey and Beams Editions in 2025. My work develops on the traditions of modernist gestural and geometric abstraction in painting, endgames, grid mutations and its relationship with ornamentation and nature. The work is informed by my extensive daily drawing practice of geometric formation, automatic writing, found images and from nature. Picking out the constructs of painting, I find the process of looking a transformative experience. It is not only about looking at a picture or a narrative but a physical experience where one feels the thoughts made manifest by the materiality of paint and the gesture of the artist.
