I am a largely self taught creative artist. I say largely as the only art education I have had was in secondary education and a one year art course at college. . Which if anything taught me a dislike of formalised art classes.

Media wise I work largely with acrylics and oils, though the latter does require a bit more space and fresh air to work in. I also like playing around with pastels/charcoal and have previously worked with collage and like using recycled and otherwise reused/ recycled materials where I can.

Inspiration comes from a myriad of different sources: Spirituality, religion, sex workers and the environment to name but a few. More recently it has been National Socialist (Nazi) ideology and symbolism, being drawn to the cinematography of Leni Riefenstahl and the Nazi hierarchy generally. It probably stems from my enduring love for history more than much else. Previously I have also trawled through the actress's of The Golden Age of Hollywood. Velma from Scooby Doo has also become a subject of attention.

What else? Well you had better ask me.
