| I live and work in London.
I trained at the City & Guilds School of Art, Goldsmith School of
Art, the Royal Academy of Art (Scholarship) and at St. Martins School
of Art.
I undertake a wide range of fine art in the form of paintings (oils,
pastels, watercolours, etc.), sculpture and screens. My paintings
include still life, landscape, portraits and animals. I draw inspiration
from many countries, for example fabrics from India, elephants from
Sri Lanka, landscapes in Camargue, colour from Bologna, Japanese kimonos
and figures, to mention just a few.
I have exhibited widely including London Contemporary Arts, Alexander
Llewelyn, McGrath Gallery, Bow House Gallery, Catto Gallery, Pastel
Society, Morley College, Heron Gallery, Burlington Arcade (London)
and at the Fosse Gallery.
Also I have produced posters for London Transport Underground Stations
(Pink Flamingos and Colombia Road Flower Market)
for the Inland Revenue for use at offices of the Board and for New
York Graphics for publication in USA. Many of my paintings and pastels
have been the subject of greeting cards and calendars. Paintings undertaken
for use in feature movies include: a portrait of Julie Christie and
Alan Bates for Return of the Soldier a portrait of Daryl
Hannah and Ray McNally for High Spirits and Stanley Kubricks
Full Metal Jackets.
I am also an author, illustrator, fashion illustrator and costume
designer for theatre, television and films.
