Introduction Graduating as an illustrator from Camberwell School of arts 1988. I lived and worked in L.A California for two years. Working for the film and arts industry as a courier, freelance illustrator and as an intern at the Municipal arts centre on Hollywood Boulevard. After life in the USA I worked as a freelance illustrator for 6 years, commissions included; good housekeeping, Islington council, British heart foundation, City Limits Mag, many more. My own work at that time was based on theatre. Figurative based I produced a body of work based on the French performance circus, 'Cirque Du Soleil', these works were later exhibited in Rodeo Drive, L.A. A trip to Mexico in '92, followed by many summers touring Europe provided the basis to my work as a fine artist. Parallel to my work as an artist, I began to lecture at De Montfort University. In 1999, I took an M.A in fine art, based on constructed landscapes. Work has progressed into recent works, plans, elevations, interiors, exteriors and 3dimensional paintings. Now I am still working part time for DMU in blocks, but live and work as an artist in SW France. A short biography with a lot missing, but if your interested post me a question.
