Dark Sea Print

I was born in Hertfordshire, UK in 1958, part of my childhood was spent on the East Suffolk coast. Currently I live and work in London and Farnham. As a self taught artist I began my career in interior design in order to work in a creative field, but what I really wanted to do was make art! Eventually I was able to achieve my goal by working to commission, painting murals to start with for the interior design trade, this was back in the '80's, then I began to paint portraits. My first one man show was in the early 90's after I had successfully painted all the road bridges along the Thames, it was held in Tower Bridge and was quite an event. I love water, sparking or otherwise, and I love the London bridges. My first exhibition led me into becoming a printmaker at the Artichoke Printworks in Brixton, an open access print studio where I create my mono prints and other etchings, where I have been a member for several decades.
