Details
How would you describe the work you do and why?
My early work has been semi-abstract, almost entirely in acrylics with work currently illustrated in an art-interest section on my web-site. I have been entirely self-taught and this early work has been infrequently produced as and when I found the time. More recently, I have been attending lessons providing me with additional technical skills and have branched out into water colours and other mediums. I like to try and provide an other-worldy or surrealistic flavour to traditional subject matter.
For you what does being an artist mean?:
Trying to express a kind of beauty using colour and form without using words or language.
Describe what you call yourself/your practice?:
I am a consultant electrical engineer by profession, with an interest in art.
Your practice & activities include e.g workshops, teaching:
I have a spare bedroom which serves as a studio.
CV & Education, relevant & leading to your artistic practice:
I have a first degree in maths and physics and a PhD in electrical engineering. In the past couple of years I have been a member of the Herefordshire Village Art Clubs where I have been improving my skills. Before then I was entirely self-taught in art.
Exhibitions in the last 3 years:
I have had a few paintings shown in Bromyard Art Week last year and in the Village Art Club displays in the Leominster Old Stable Gallery.
