Statement

I studied Fine Art. B.Arts course at Plymouth College of Art and Design and have exhibited throughout the South West of England, South Wales, France and Switzerland.  My work is held in both private and public collections. I also sell my work internationally through a well know Graphics company.

I have created many installation pieces and took part in the South West of England Sculpture trail for many years. I enjoy creating sculpture using wax and bronze and recycled 'found' objects. Recently I have had installation pieces relating to environmental art installed in Leysin, Switzerland. My most notable installation was called 'The Last Supper'.  This was a statement about the perilous state of the world we inhabit due to climate warming and environmental destruction

I have been living in the South of France for the last five years and share gallery space in the mediaeval part of Hyères. The gallery is on the well known Parcours des Arts.

Recently, I have been developing my artistic appreciation of the female form through gestural fluid drawings using a live model. The poses are necessarily rapid, affording a lively and interactive image of the female form. Tactile, sensual impressions encapsulate the essence of the female gender at a time when strength, beauty and courage of women should be celebrated.   

 

 

 J'ai étudié les Beaux-Arts, cours B.Arts au 'Plymouth College of Art and Design'. J'ai exposé dans le sud-ouest de l'Angleterre, le sud du Pays de Galles, la France et la Suisse. Mon travail est conservé dans des collections privées et publiques. Je vends également mes oeuvres à l'international via une entreprise graphique bien connue.

J'ai créé de nombreuses pièces d'installation et j'ai participé au 'South West of England Sculpture Trail' pendant de nombreuses années. J'aime créer des sculptures en utilisant de la cire, du bronze et des objets « trouvés » recyclés. Récemment, j'ai prēsenté des pièces d'installation liées à l'art environnemental en Suisse et en France. Mon installation la plus remarquable s'appelait 'La Cène'. Il s'agissait d'une déclaration sur l'état périlleux du monde dans lequel nous vivons en raison du réchauffement climatique et de la destruction de l'environnement

Je vis dans le sud de la France depuis cinq ans et partage un espace de galerie dans la partie médiévale d’Hyères. La galerie est sur le célèbre Parcours des Arts. 

Récemment, j’ai développé mon appréciation artistique de la forme féminine à travers des dessins gestuels fluides utilisant un modèle vivant. Les poses sont nécessairement rapides, offrant une image vivante et interactive de la forme féminine. Les impressions tactiles et sensuelles encapsulent l’essence du genre féminin à une époque où la force, la beauté et le courage des femmes devraient être célébrés.
