Born in Walmer, a small fishing village on the south Kent coast in 1978
I attended the local primary school where my love of drawing was
apparent. It was noted that I was rarely seen without a pad and pencil
scrbbling away and trying to perfect my latest 'masterpiece'. This
passion continued through secondary school, St.Edmunds in Canterbury,
where I developed a keen interest in portraiture, creating caricatures
of my classmates and learning the basic rudements of anatomy to assist
with proportions. About the time I left St. Edmunds an insurgance of
Conceptual art seemed to be flooding the top galleries in London, so
being a bit green to the conceptual art movement hedged my bets chose to
study the social sciences at Thanet college in Broadstairs; Pschology,
Sociology and Biology, as a means to get a job in the same field and
view my artwork as more of a hobby rather than a 'conceptual' career.
During went on to study at Lincoln University |
