Asphalt Canyon Drawing

I am an abstract painter based in Portsmouth, UK. I was born in Yorkshire and have lived in many parts of this country and also in Santiago de Chile. I originally studied 3D design and was in design practice for many years. In 1994 I went back to university and took a degree in Visual Studies and have been working at being an artist since graduating. I love all things monochrome, photography, Film Noir, and especially charcoal drawings. Consequently a large amount of my current output is charcoal drawings on paper. My work is mostly abstract landscape inspired by years of serious hiking and cycling. I also listen to a lot of Jazz when I'm in the studio and so have an ongoing series of drawings based on this music. I am also a songwriter/guitar player with Film Noir inspired band Murderville.
