I was born in 1959 in Southampton, England and graduated with a degree in English/Italian literature from the University of Warwick in 1981 - at a time where there were 500 graduates to 1 job. Thatcher was at her most strident in promoting Victorian values and the work ethic, but only in relation to what the State deemed as valid ways to become a worthy citizen, whilst kicking away any means for many people to do this. So for many years I made a point of being creatively and gainfully unemployed - with varying levels of success in several ventures and areas of interest. Perhaps one of the most important achievements to come out of this - in addition to a substantial colection of large mixed-media compositionson board as well as my collections of coloured drawings and mixed-media collages, was the creation of a full 78-deck of tarot cards, along with a 40 000 booklet which took 10 years to complete. The major aracana have just been published in a limited edition for collectors of Tarot artwork. |
| About the Artist | |
Nowadays my artwork consists of abstract mixed-media pieces, some in paper, other, bigger compositions using glass fragments, treated fabric and wax, as well as combined water/oil-based paints, which I deliberately clash in order to create marbling effects. My work is mainly comes about via a process of psychic automatism, so that it is guided by an ebb and flow of subconscious impressions, but I have also experimented with figurative ideas too: on my site I also exhibit my Tarot deck. |

| Education and biography | |
| In addition to my first degree I have a diploma in Fine Arts from the Leamington College of FE Leamington Spa, 1985, and a Certificate in Course Materials from Coventry University, 1987. Both courses were part-time. Whilst living in Coventry, I exhibited in both joint and solo exhibitions with a group of artists based in Hillfields, Coventry. My three solo exhibitions were all hosted in a small gallery above an artshop in Spon Street, Coventry. The first, in 1989, was called 'Vistas,' the second, in 1992, 'Magma,' the third, in 1998, 'Pearl in the Oyster.' In 1994, after moving to Brighton, I also exhibited with a gallery called The Bear Cave and showed my worked in various cafés and similar venues throughout the city. My first exhibition in Budapest was held in a community centre in the 11 District in 1998. In 2002 there was also an exhibition at an art gallery in Vác, whilst currently, examples of my work have been on view at the Berlitz Language School at Bajczi Zsilinszsky 29 since May 1st 2004 (the choice of date was not mine.) |
