What I do 

 

Most of my paintings start with snapshots or 'stills' grabbed from video.  I chose these as my sources because they are casual and opportunistic and offer the best way to capture a fleeting moment (off-guard and just as it was); moments where chance elements and imperfections might suggest some deeper aspect of reality (camera vérité).

 

Working with subjects found in this way, I use digital and on-the-canvas processes to explore the subject content, visual qualities, suggested ideas, references and meanings.

 

Reflecting this plurality, my work tends to combine realism and interpretation and a varied range of paint techniques and effects. 

About me

 

A Fine Art graduate and teacher, then Director of a university IT unit developing art and digital photography software - now retired and painting as much as I can.

Based in the UK, I frequently show paintings in open and group exhibitions and have work in collections in Canada, France, Germany, Sweden, Ireland and the UK.

 

Thanks for looking at my work. I hope you find some interest and enjoyment in it.
