Heading 2

   ​​  My work is hard to pigeon hole as I move easily from pure abstraction to seme representational pieces. Colour and pattern fascinate me and I employ a wide range of mixed media, with collage , photomontage, and assemblage. I was trained initially as a Graphic and Interior Designer and later in Fine Art I appreciate the contribution that design has made to the visual sensibilities which we share and love. My pieces are unique in that they acknowledge the heritage of design and yet fall firmly in the category  of Fine Art.  
 I am a  leading contemporary artist working in the Southwest of England and the South of France.
