Biography: Some pictures are simple and complete inside my head from the beginning, but most of them start with the inspiration of the objects. It may be something found in a junk shop, washed up on the beach near my home or something from my past - wooden letters from a childhood game, my palette from my art school days. I often assemble a collection of items and then have "playtime' to find the right composition, juxtaposition and colours. Colour is,of course very important. I love saturated colour and often use pure pigments on objects and backgrounds.
Sometimes a meaning will evolve that was not originally intended but mostly I prefer people to read what they like into the pictures or hopefully just enjoy them for their visual stimulation.
