Visual art was always a big part of my life. I practiced my own art when there was space and time and completed an MA in Art Education in Oxford Brookes. I taught art all over the world to students of all ages and nationalities.

Today I feel great concern for the way the over-populated, money-driven world is going. Most countries, leaders, governments and institutions are only interested in profit and are oblivious to poverty and the planets destruction. Then there is insane power-mongering, violence and warfare.

I try and put these concerns into visual form. I also want to make art about the beautiful world I have had the good fortune to see. Such are the art works that I create.
