My formal training was in London at Camberwell College of Art and then at Wimbledon as a theatre designer. I worked in theatre and film alongside my creativity monopolising home life. 25 years of painting tipped over into sculpting for a further 3, alongside writing, which in turn became short films, performance and a book. I have exhibited in London, Dorset, Brighton and Lewes. I was then fortunate enough to have been invited to exhibit at Farley Farm House, Home of the Surrealists. I learnt about these artists in my school textbooks so I was over the moon to be hanging my work in a building next door to giants of Modernism! I invited the mayor of Lewes to open the exhibition, he agreed and then bought a painting of Bonfire Night over Lewes and the Ooze.
