Through a process of painting and drawing I strive to develop my framework of reference which is autobiographical. Studio based, the work owes its origins and reference to landscape, although the space is always the catalyst for the responses to what has occurred at these locations and the emotions these memories bring. Sometimes the work, especially those in graphite and raw pigment does not look representational of any place at all, as I recall events and discover myself. 

For the past two years I have been curating an ACE funded collaborative arts project supported by the IWM as part of the WW1 centenary, called Cicatrix. Working with an installation artist and film maker I have been touring this exhibition with my ‘scar’ drawings providing the third element.

Currently, as well as coordinating Cicatrix, I’m curating The Plant Project, an exhibition featuring the role of flora in art, based on works in the Wiltshire Collection (namely Robin Tanner) and being shown with borrowed works from Randall-Page, Hume & Frink.

Prior to this project I was involved in the coordination of a HLF community project with the Young Gallery, Salisbury, called Other Worlds, exploring the world of the soldier through the visual arts. Working with a team alongside active servicemen, professional artists, tutors and 8 garrison schools to promote the role of the Armed Forces and honour the soldiers of our streets through art around the subject of conflict. As well as mentoring a soldier I produced a series of oil paintings referencing my own experiences of living in a war zone in Africa.
