Biography
After obtaining a degree in physics in 1988 from Loughborough University and working as a nuclear geophysicist, I had a successful career in management consultancy working with large international businesses. In 2000 I began four years of study for a degree in painting at the City and Guilds of London School of Art. My recent paintings are the result of extensive experimentation, research and thinking since graduating and draw upon the experiences I have had on this unconventional route to becoming a painter.
