Artist statement:
My work, almost always, focuses on the concept of identity. I am driven by a desire to understand who I am and what makes me this person. Am I little more than a machine, programmed to function in an extremely specific way? Is my identity just an elaborate illusion, the result of billions of chemical reactions? I think that my work appeals to others because so many of us, at one time or another, are forced to confront who we really are. We can hide behind a facade for so much of the time but every now and then, inadvertantly, we let our true selves show.
I am in my thirties and previously enjoyed a career as a successful, award winning, architectural designer. I owned and managed a well-regarded architectural practice, employing a team of six other very talented architects of varying grades. I have since left the architectural industry and have been painting full-time ever since. I now have strong relationships with a number of Galleries across the East of England. I have a busy exhibition schedule coming up in 2006 that includes several solo and group exhibitions at various private galleries in UK.
