MY WORK
Art
I always return to painting and drawing. It’s my natural way of working things out and understanding the world around me.
Illustration
My illustrations are the result of studying fine art and reading comic books. I am keen on obsessive pencil work and also love using collage and paint.
Wood Work
I’ve been working with wood for over twenty years. I recently discovered that my great grandfather was a carpenter during the First World War. I work on a range of commissions from sculpture, furniture as well as objects used for exhibitions and displays.
