| About the Artist |
Studied at Stockport College of Art & Design 1986 - 1988, going on to work as a professional graphic designer until moving to the Isle of Skye in 1995 to pursue main passion as a painter. Now working from home studio and exhibiting throughout the UK. Work held in private collections in UK, Europe and USA. Work regularly on show at Inchmore Gallery nr Inverness.
Light and atmospherics play a strong part in finished pieces, where the build-up of complex layers and the exposure of under-painting all add to the visual intensity experienced by the viewer. |
