I graduated from Cardiff College of Art in 1978 and worked as an Industrial and Architectural Designer and Illustrator until the early 1990s when I moved to West Wales to become a full-time painter. I have taken part in solo and group shows and have work in private collections worldwide.

My work includes large scale semi-abstract paintings, watercolours, monoprints and drawings, sculpture, b&w landscape photographs and more recently, aerial photography.

My sources are drawn from a very wide range of interests, but are fundamentally from landscape and environmentally based physical and mental structures. I have long been fascinated with maps and have been trying to develop and visualize a subjective mapped view that has, at its centre, the concept of the un-positioned viewer and the plausibility of a ‘view from nowhere’. Dispensing with the positioned viewer allows for a pluralism which can transform the mapped view into a variety of modes and narratives and allows for the geography of the mind to enter the geography of the landscape.
