Welcome

The photography and paintings I produce, offer two alternative ways of viewing the subjects I find. I like to get up close to my subjects, as the detail can be intriguing, and often in a state of decay. Therefore my subjects tend to focus on the beaches around our coasts, and pathways through our woodlands. However my passion is trees, as I have long believed they hold the key to so many of the problems we face in today's society. With this belief, I act as Tree Warden for the Village of Angmering in West Sussex. (See links)

My background is in Product Design, which I studied for five years back in the late 70�s. The first year was a foundation course, which included photography and graphic design. I have only taken up photography again in the last five years. I was pleased to be awarded first place in the Wey & Arun Canal photo competition in 2004. This year the very same image has been chosen to cover the front page of their Wey-South Path booklet. This gives a maps and descriptions of all the Tow and Footpaths that follow the canal. (see Exhibitions and links)

When I started painting in 1999 my work had a strong environmental theme, depicting some very surreal images of mankind�s influence on the world. I exhibited these paintings in local Libraries to try and impress the need for change. Since then I have mellowed somewhat to paint natural objects like leaves, for which I have sold many.

To view more detail on any images in my galleries, simply click on it to enlarge and see the size and price. Each print is a limited edition of just 10 copies.

I also have a CD of more images to display on a PC as screen savers, they help to promote good health, as green is the best colour for your eyes. Leaves therefore make an ideal subject to view.

The most view image for last week is shown on this page.
