My Friend's Cat (1) Painting

I was born in London in 1954 and moved to Paris in the 1980s to complete my doctorate in medieval manuscript illumination. But when I had finished, I preferred to become a practicing artist rather than an academic and evolved in the Paris atelier system.

I use a camera to capture figure or object, treat the photograph digitally and paint from a transformed image. The combination of modern technology, conventional painting techniques and an art historical insight provides a powerful springboard for my transfigured vision of human experience in todays world.
