Art biography
I am a self taught artist and photographer who has been painting and drawing from an early age and taking photographs for over three decades. I work in a studio at home in Chalgrove which is a village just outside Oxford and work to commission in mixed media, acrylic and oils. I am a member of West Ox Arts and Oxford Art Society.I have undertaken photographic commissions such as the Cowley Road Carnival, Oxford Anagama Kiln Project and Oxford Festival of the Arts for which I was photographer in Residence in June 2018.
In 2019 I will exhibiting from home in June. I take monthly art classes at SOCA and summer workshops at New Brewery Arts in Cirencester. I will be running some photography workshops at SOCA in Lake Street, Oxford from May onwards with two other photographers. I will also be including a small still life for Artweeks at SOCA. In September I will be exhibiting with a group of artists in Dorchester-on-Thames under the theme of Henge 19 exploring the place of ancient sites in this area. At the moment I am doing a collection of abstracts on canvas (contact me for details).
