About the Artist

My artwork relates to how i feel about the world- I want to add to things that i appretiate and respect by glorifying them in paint- Such as humility- respect for nature- love- peace- consideration for the inner and outer layers of reality- I'm inspired by nature and honest faces.

Time well spent

2007
Acrylic on canvas
45X38 cm (approx) Girclee print A3

This painting for me is about everything that I hold dear in my life. Its about love, humility, respect for nature, the different levels of reality that exist (both actual and imaginary) and its about reaping the rewards from being a good minded person throught life (ie- flowers of the mind). The painting is also about Life-force and its beautiful power- i chose to paint a sunflower in full bloom because i wanted it to express that the guitar players life is in full bloom with all of his lifes achievements and experiences before him- and now is a time for him to reflect. Girclee prints for sale- Size A3

Hourglass

2008
80x100cm

This for me is about old age and death- but presented in a peaceful and fearless way- the old man has had a realisation that all physical actions during his life have been almost inconsequential due to the small scale influence that they bear in the grand scheme of existence. In a token of good humour he plays his violin for one last time before his stem is cut (hence the stemless rose- which incidently is supposed to be composed of human flesh) and he is free- his ties to the earth are severed and his swan song is his last will and testament.

In a world of my own

2008
Acrylic on canvas
80x100cm (Girclee print A3)

In a world of my own
This painting for me represents one mans moment of escapism from the noisy and chaotic city- the colours of the sky represent all the colours the sky can be during one day- this represents the diluted time boundaries during his meditation. Girclee prints available- A3-

Eleanor

2007
40x40cm

This is a portrait.

Transcendence

2007
40x40

This painting is about meditation and outer-body experience.

Old Friends

2007
A3 Print (original 40cmx40cm)

This artwork for me captures a long understanding of friendship and all the memories and experiences that it involves.

Those who look away

2008
Acrylic on canvas
80X100

Those who look away
its supposed to be about social hierarchy- conformity- isolation- the afterlife and the disconection of man from natural order- Tutan kharmoon is representative of the highest powers- rulers- kings queens- who are often the most isolatied- the police men are the subserveint populous who are more involved and often work together- but still they look odd because what they do is unnatural, their awkward posture is supposed to represent the lost aspect of people who fall into work roles but never fully understand themselves- and the men face away from the bees (the natural journey to a coming together of all) because they wish to interpret the world for themselves rather than face the flow of nature. Its a bit of a loose explaination but i think thats most of what i was trying to say-

Lot

2008
acrylic on canvas
60X80

Fable

Summer came to me

2008

Faraway

Fragments in time

2008
painted centre- mosiac tiles surround

This artwork is about the fragmented and multi-dimensional aspect of reality and human existence- how we operate on many levels and how we are a part of the energy cycle or 'law of thermodynamics' where energy cannot be created or destroyed just transfered from one form to another- how we manifest and then seperate but our atome remain eternal- interwoven into the fabric of the eternal universe.
 
Education and biography
I studied in Manchester for a degree in psychology- i'v held a number of private exhibitions and am planning an exhibition in spain soon.
