An Artist based in Berkshire, I primarily work in oil on canvas but have in recent years created drawings and digitally manipulated photographic prints alongside my paintings. These can be seen on my website.

I am interested in perception, mainly the perception of place through the tourist image and create giant painted postcards. However my paintings are routed in my photography and I love going to new places and creating postcard like imagery I can then alter to create my works.

More recently I began to turn this on it's head by instead of trying to subvert the falseness of the postcard image, I wanted to look at a more intense and accurate image of how a place really is. From this my Perambulation project was born, a photograph a day from a walk a day around my local area. This has lead to great personal dicussions about a truthful representation and if indeed it is even possible on my blog (accesable from my website) and more importantly is teaching me to use my camera in a different way than before.

This Flickr is home to photographs I have taken on my trips around the UK and a few foriegn locations that are interesting (at least to me) and show a level of professionalism and ability with the camera. They have all, bar one or two developmental examples, have been taken since I started my Fine Art degree in 2003.
