Self-taught painter, studied Art & Design and Fine Art. Born 1968 in the east end of London moved to Suffolk as a child. An ex R.A.F Regiment Gunner and alcoholic, began his journey in recovery in late 2009. After 27 years of addiction uses art as a means of therapy which consists of figurative/Portrait work, predominately working with oil paint in an unpretentious avant-garde, impressionistic style, with undertones of realism.

​

Teaching oneself to paint would imply the study of techniques and how to apply paint, to a certain degree. I prefer the trial and error,

making it up as you go along approach.

​

The rudimentary thought behind my resent works has been expressive to my own torment and Self-pity. Increasingly haunted by thoughts of my own life and mortality of romantic love, relationships, and one's deep and strong emotional desires to connect with another person intimately.

The journey rather than the finished product is

the driving force behind my work.
