About Me

After studying at Cumbria College of Art and Design and Glasgow School of Art I have had numerious solo and group exhibitions in the UK and abroad. Exhibitions include William Jackson Gallery London, Community House Gallery, Kyoto, Japan and the Walter C Young Centre Miami, USA. My work ranges from figurative landscape to more expressive abstract work. Recently I have moved into photography and had a solo show of photographic work in Edinburgh, Scotland. Last Autumn I made a return to Japan and I'm presently busy with new work from this trip.
