I work as a visual artist - drawing, painting, illustration and cartooning. Mainly narrative images in the tradition of absurdism.
Biography/Details

I studied Fine Art at Harrow and Portsmouth. I was a full time freelance illustrator and cartoonist, including political cartooning, for newspapers and magazines in the 1990s and 2000's. Currently I pursue my own self generated work, painting and drawing including a bit of book illustration and figurative ceramics. I also teach a spring and autumn life drawing class at the Old Ipswich Art Centre.

I have been selected a number of times for exhibition by the Association of Illustrators and was shortlisted for Artist Of The Year by Artist and Illustrators magazine in 2019. My work has appeared in many group exhibitions in Suffolk as well as the Mall Galleries in London (Pastel Society and Royal Society of Portrait Painters)
