Biography
I was born and live in High Wycombe, studied Fine Art at The Slade in the 1980s, and have exhibited extensively in the UK and abroad. My exhibition highlights include: What Makes Me, What Makes You at the South London Gallery (1997); Space International, London and Valencia, Spain (1992), the Museum of Optography, Sharjah Foundation, UAE (2012); and over 30 films – the most recent of which, Bison Hill, was awarded numerous awards in Film festivals all over the world.
My periods of production can be broken down into the following categories: large organic paintings (1980’s), interactive art installations (late 1980s early 90’s), performance art (1990s), video and filmic narrative explorations (2000s to the present), and my museum installation, The Museum of Optography (2007 to the present). With a return to painting (2017 to the present) leading to the Lockdown Series of 2020, with embattled seascapes and landscapes up to mid 2025. In 2022, the première of the film Bison Hill.
I am currently showing in Sydney Biennial 25 until mid June 2026
I am represented by the Brenda Colahan Gallery, Sydney, NSW, Australia
