"I'm an artist living in North Cornwall, which as everybody knows is great for landscape and seascape artists. The trouble is I'm not one of them. I'm an expressionist. I don't even need the sun; I can work in a cellar with a naked bulb. I live between moors; I can see Dartmoor from one side of my house and Bodmin Moor from the other. I love these wild places, and no matter what kind of artist I am, this place does inspire me.
I'm 45. I was born in london but moved to the West Country when I was three, and apart from a few teenage years, have always lived here. I've been working as an artist for 6 or 7 years now, and things are beginning to look good, with sales and commissions.
I am a great believer in imagination and free expression. Many of the themes in my pictures and sculpture are figurative. I try to show the spirit and emotion in movement and colour. Sometimes high emotions and pain will twist a body. Sometimes this will lift you up into an ecstasy and somwtimes it will drop you into the depths of despair.
Some of my pictures show scenes of beings in a landscape. These pictures convey a great mixture of emotions from comical to despairing, driving wants and desires."
