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.
