About Me


I am a Painter. I live and in Salford near Manchester. I paint everyday. I have had numerous shows and exhibitions with varying degrees of success. The most rewarding being an exhibition about the changing face of Salford, which was exhibited at Salford Museum and Art Gallery.
My paintings are a representation of the world around me. Recently I have been besieged with photographic images promoting lifestyles that don't exist. The high gloss world of fashion photography seems to be the leader in this field, providing ideals for the masses that can never be attained. The harsh dynamic of real life always please me more, especially when in stark contrast to this fake existence. My aim is to represent what is real.


I am uploading my print Archive to www.etsy.com

and have original paintings for sale on ebay: bloomfieldart

I also have a number of paintings on the Saatchi website


My Interests

I'd like to meet:

National Gallery Curators, Gallery Owners, Media Moguls, Rich Patrons.
