I was born in 1952 and grew up in south west London. When I first got interested in art, what’s called ‘POP’ was still the prevailing trend and a flat and graphic way of picture making has always been of great interest to me.

Although I’ve been painting and exhibiting since the early seventies it was only after moving to west Cornwall from the west end of London in 1989 that I fully focused on developing my current method of working. I know this may seem a little ironic given the urban nature of some of my images and prevailing artistic tendencies in these parts, but that’s how it is for me.

Though I often make reference to the ‘golden age’ of popular culture, my primary concern is a formal and visual rightness, not a nostalgic or sentimental attitude towards the past, I intend my painting to be positive and uplifting, so I hope you enjoy looking at these images as much as I have enjoyed making them.
