Biography

I have been a painter since birth more or less, leaving marks on walls wherever i have been. In 2006, however, i gave up the petty distractions of trying to earn a serious living through teaching and having any pretence of being a gold standard parent, and risked my meagre remaing funds to open my bijou studio gallery in Clifton Village, within the quite elegant victorian shopping arcade on boyce's avenue. This is where i make my paintings, exhibit and sell, chat with people and accept commissions, share experience and advice and drink life threatening amounts of coffee.
