Salut!

No, I am not French, although my teacher thought I showed incredible promise...in art!

Most of the depictions you see whether tangibly or on-line are an amalgamation of my journey both privately and professionally. My approach is simple ... I interpret all that I find visually and spiritually stimulating at the present time. I guess it's hard to specialise on a single subject with so much surrounding us.

Creativity, with all it's branches, I have always related to as “personality” ... you either get on with a particular piece or you don't! Like people, every visual personality, whether deemed ‘wacky’ or normal, has a place.

I was born in Brighton, UK where I currently reside with my wife, three boys and a bump! Much of my earlier life was spent in Freetown, West Africa with my latter years spent in the UK in pursuit of an illustrative career. No sooner had that vocation been realised I found myself gravitating quite naturally towards the digital world embracing all it had to offer. Whilst fearing initially that my artistic capabilities may suffer as a consequence, on the contrary it worked out quite the opposite, forging together an alliance of versatility to meet various design requests. I hope that this is evident in my show of work.

When painting I am very confident using oil based mediums, but, sharing studio airspace with a bottle of turps tends to result in days of wearing a slightly psychotic smile, dribbling! I choose therefore to work mainly with acrylics, appreciating them for their unforgiving manner and with not much room for error, my focus and learning must remain constant. The honest pursuit in gaining self worth within the creative sector requires immense drive and constant reflection. Working in a vocation where therein lies a possibility of recognition long after one's final blessing, clearly reveals that there is more to those who walk the path than meets the eye ...well it's either that or the turps have got me!!!

And what of the 'dark' side? Digitally I work on a mac loaded with a humble arsenal of software all geared to feeding the insatiable appetite of the e–monster. My strengths are evident in Photoshop, Illustrator and Dreamweaver. I do use Flash but purely from an aesthetic point of view. There is no doubt that the 18 years of my professional journey has brought about more than just a recognisable body of work. It has allowed continued upward growth with every creative juncture a marked step in my life.

Features of my art have appeared in numerous publications including the noted International Artist magazine, the Mall Galleries in London and online at the Saatchi gallery.
