BA at Newcastle-Upon-Tyne Polytechnic, now Northumbria Uni’.


MA in Woodblock Printing at the Adachi Institute, Mejiro, Tokyo.


I Have exhibited in Newcastle twice, twice in Brixton (South London) and twice in Tokyo. I am picking up again after having worked as a designer in the Furniture industry and having had a Brain Tumor. My work often revolves around the symbols humans have made over the millenia to communicate with each other. Be it Bronze age cave painting, Linear ‘B’ (Greek bronze age language/alphabet) Emoji, road signs, Shodo (Japanese calligraphy). I also find landscape a great means of expression & our concrete jungles often inspire.
