I come from a background blessed with a strong artistic vein within the fine art, creative and technical disciplines, by which I am inspired and have been involved in throughout my life. Partly due to my English, Spanish and Kiwi roots; but also my employment, influences include multicultural societies, socio- and psychological structuring and world affairs. With much of my current work there is a lean towards alternative thought processes and the obscure. Although I enjoy the more traditional disciplines such as oil painting, illustration, print and portraiture, in recent years sculpture, mural painting, photography and time-based media - the latter also being known as four dimensional - are my current mainstays in creativity and personal development. However, I have experience and working knowledge of many disciplines across the spectrum. I currently have an on-going commission for person-centred murals. These are within supported living establishments for adults with learning difficulties /challenging behaviour /sensory impairments. 2015 Murals in Gravesend, Strood and Redhill 2014 Murals in Bobbing, Hove, Gravesend and Gillingham (with Strood in the pipeline) 2013 Murals in Birchington, Hythe, Bobbing (Kent) and Westcliff-on-Sea (Essex) 2012 BA top-up Fine Art (Hons) 2:1 [High Merit] 2011 HND Fine Art (Merit) 2009 BTEC Foundation Art and Design (Distinction) 2015: January: Exhibition 'Soil' arranged by 'Kent Creative Live': A panel of 6 judges chose 87 pieces from 148 entries.
