About
My enthusiam for art stems from childhood and it's been a lifelong activity.
​
So when I retired from advertising in 2017 I took the opportunity to embark on a second career as an artist.
​
From 2018 to 2020 I studied for a Masters in Fine Arts at Wimbledon Colllege of Arts, part of the University of the Arts London, and graduated with Distinction.
​
In 2018 I joined Artists At Home (AAH), in West London and I have exhibited with them at my 'Open Studio' each year since.
​
In 2021 I joined the AAH Steering Group with responsibility for membership and finance.
​
As an artist I've taken a sabbatical from Open Studios in 2025, but continue in my behind the scenes roles for AAH.​​​​
Approach
​
As an artist, I’m exploring attrition in nature, society, relationships, and language.​
​
​Attrition occurs at junctions where the organic collides with the inorganic; as people meet in love or war; and when words are changed by usage and reinvention.​
​
I use a wide variety of materials to express my ideas. Having said that, sandpaper is a key medium with its abrasive function, the duality of its rough and smooth sides, and its potential to symbolise attriton in multiple ways.
​
I talk about these ideas in the video above.
