I have been involved with the visual arts all of my working life, as a Graphic Designer and as an Art Tutor at Canterbury College. During my career I have had the opportunity to develop skills in drawing, painting and experimentation with all types of 2D media. I do believe that a sound understanding of observational drawing is a vital and rewarding part of the creative process.

My current work consists mainly of monochromatic still life tonal studies, using charcoal and graphite in a very controlled and considered way. For a complete change of pace, I also enjoy the freedom and expressiveness of using Chinese Brush techniques. To me, the satisfaction and enjoyment gained from producing artwork is in the process of using drawing materials to their maximum effect and hopefully sharing my enthusiasm and knowledge with others. Seeking beauty in simple things.
