)
|
Born in Newcastle in 1960 I now reside in Coventry where I run the Astral Gypsy Art Studio and bookshop with my wife Maggie. |
| About the Artist | |
My work is primarily dream based I am fascinated by the human form, and how it's perception is transformed in dreams, this also ties in to my interest in representations of disability in figurative art and the media. I aim to marry conscious will and subconscious inspiration in both form and technique. I work in in a variety of media including: Comics, Paint, Graphite, Pen & Ink, Watercolour, Film, Digital art & Photography including Photoshop, Painter, & Illustrator. |
