Welcome
I believe that the photographic image can be an end in itself, the start of a photographic journey or an artist’s sketch pad. I use all three aspects in my work. Sometimes the image itself is sufficient particularly for recording the passing of time. Developing the image digitally opens up the imagination and leads me on to further photographic imagery and also transfer into other media – etching, silkscreen and other traditional areas.
I have been a photographer artist for over twenty years initially using traditional film based methods. Recently the advent of digital image capture and software has opened up my scope and increased my output of film, paint, collage and printing based work. Both place and people feature in my representational work though patterns and abstraction are my main interest. I have studied painting, printmaking, etching and photography and find that they all influence each other. I exhibit and sell my work principally in the South West and South Wales near my home base in West Gloucestershire, UK. I am a member of the Bureau of Freelance Photographers and the West Gloucestershire Art Society.
