Painting

statement:
I started painting in mid life and went as a mature student to Manchester Metropolitan University for the B.A. Fine Art.

I have exhibited widely, and have been an artist in residence at several public galleries including the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and Bury Art Gallery in Greater Manchester.

I work in all media, mainly in oil on canvas, and draw constantly. Although a painter, I am interested in all visual art and have worked on projects as diverse as “Field For The British Isles,” with Anthony Gormley and Tree Dressing with Liverpool Museum. I was awarded a European Union Drawing Bursary in 1997, and following this I was invited to Munich to produce and exhibit new work “outwith” my “normal practice.”

I chose to make a film and this lead to an interest in combining film and video with painting and soundwork.

I spent three years immersed in “Electronic Art” but returned to Fine Art five years ago. I have been self employed as an artist since 2005.

news:
I am looking forward to returning, in the next couple of months, to the North West, after living in rural Scotland for the last 5 yrs. 2007 has been a very busy one for me with 6 exhibitions plus taking part in “Spring Fling,” the Dumfries and Galloway Open Studios event.

I am planning to concentrate on my work in the next 12mths., with occasional exhibitions, but I am open to interesting projects!
