Concept

Since training at Kingston-Upon-Thames, I have exhibited in numerous solo and group shows. My work is held in the private collections of city institutions, and in private collections in Amsterdam, Vienna, London, Germany & Bermuda.

I have specialized in paintings of City of London skylines for the last 6 1/2 years. I also work to commission as well as doing pencil portraits.

My paintings vary in size from 15cm x 20cm up to 2m x 4m; these works are usually concerned with the Square Mile and associated skylines. However, I have completed many large scale murals, both in the local community as well as for corporate clients.

A 16 minute film entitled “Spirit of the City” was created as a filmic portrait of me, my practice and London architecture, during the first half of 2003
