Born in London in 1960 and now living on the Isle of Wight with my wife and soul mate Ruby, I recently graduated from Solent University with a first class honours degree in photography and was awarded the 'Christian Drane Memorial Prize. I am now making new work and  considering research for a PhD.

I have become increasingly concerned with the theme of people and place and this has led to my current projects which look at issues of deforestation and the 'Urban Forest' and how studying the creative arts in later life can help with both mental and physical health.

I have had work displayed at Carisbrooke Castle, my own exhibition 'Rational Towers', a solo exhibition at Riboleau Studios, A group exhibition 'Bokeh' at Solent University, and at Ripe Pears#2 in Southampton and was part of the recent Ryde Arts Trail.

I have been featured in Pentaprism magazine in 2021, 2022 and in 2023 as editor

I am still a working musician and am a resident artist at Riboleau Studios in Ryde
