About me
I went to Bristol Polytechnic and studied Fine Art in the seventies. Since then I have moved around a creative career including prop-building for theatre, film and tv, teaching, interior design, etc., but through all these changes I have always painted and exhibited. Recently I went to Camberwell School of Art to do an MA in Paper Conservation so I am now conserving and restoring works of art on paper. This coincided with a situation where I had to move out of my painting studio in St Leonards, effectively losing the space needed for an oil painting based output. Faced with a long period of waiting, I decided to start working in watercolour, and so three years later I work entirely on location and exclusively in watercolour on paper. My intense work as a Paper Conservator has had a direct effect on my work as an artist and vice versa.
