About Me

I was born in London England in 1958 and the youngest of a very strange and sometimes frightening family. When I was fifteen I met a girl called Michiko and I have been in love with her ever since. Due to a twist of fate I ended up working in a Children's Hospital for 17 years and although I didn't like the job very much it changed my life and led me down a path to where I am now. Those years taught me about the cruelties of Man and Nature but also that Miracles do exist and are often the product of our own actions. I make pictures all day because I really don't have a choice in the matter and I am lucky that I love doing it ...there was a time I hated doing it but that is nicely packaged in pretty paper and put away in the past. I beleive that you must have both sunlight and moonlight to see the truth. I am a bit of a hermit and usually have to have an internal argument to open the front door and step outside my house. I never learned to drive a car because I believe that red is the color of action and green is a calming color ... so I walk through life slowly and that has been a blessing............well enough about me! .....did I mention I love dogs ?

My Interests


I'd like to meet:

When I was a child there was a lady who sat on a chair in the corner of my room. I never saw her come and go but she was often there when I was frightened or worried. She was kind and told me soft stories of things that are difficult to remember. I think she was always doing something with her hands like embroidery. My parents and family never spoke of her and sometimes I would wake up in the middle of the night and she would still be sitting there in the dark. I think I would like to meet her again one day when I am very very old and had enough of this world.
