I paint in all the traditional media, such as Watercolor, Acrylics and Oil, but often mix techniques and media to create new refreshing solutions. Essentially, I attempt not to fall into confines of a "Style". My work is non Abstract and deeply rooted in the skill of Drawing. From there, the Theme dictates the choice of Media and the Method that is going to give each piece of work its own integrity. Art was a reality for me before I became conscious of it…, I was surrounded by creativity… my Father was an excellent drafts man, sign writer and water colorist, he made his living later in life faking Rembrandts and Vermeers, every one of my brothers and sisters paints and my Uncles were musicians and composers. My formal art education was very much suited to my restless personality. I started in Foundation Drawing and Fine Arts, then Graphic Design, Typography, Photography and finally Film-making. After my studies at the Academy in Berlin, I taught Drawing at a College in London, worked in Graphic Design, the TV Industry and for many years as a Creative Director in Advertising in many parts of the world.
