Born in 1943 in England he attended Wells Cathedral School before going up to Exeter University to read English. At that time he discovered an interest in sculpture and after gaining his degree went on to Art school. Swept along by the intoxicating art scene of 60抯 Britain he produced brightly coloured, mixed media work which now might be described as Surrealist Pop, with the influence of Paolozzi, Allen Jones, and George Fullard visible.
After successfully completing art college he moved to Italy and established a studio near Urbino. His first one-man show was at Galleria Segnapassi, in Pesaro, 1970. For the next three years he lived and worked in Italy participating in local exhibitions and teaching at the University of Urbino.
Through disillusionment with his contemporary artwork he chose to abandon it, return to England and take up a career in Interior Design. Though continuing to carry out the occasional portrait he worked from 1975 to 1995 based in London as director in his own Building and Design company.
After winning several high profile commissions including the actress and 60抯 icon Julie Christie, Lord Gowrie, chairman of the Arts Council of England, and John Mortimer the playwright, he decided in 1995 to concentrate solely on sculpted portraiture, and had an exhibition at the Rocket Gallery, London. This brought more commissions, both in England and abroad. Within the last three years he has worked in Russia, Belgium, Italy, France and several countries of Asia. He has exhibited regularly in London ?again at the Rocket in a one-man show in 1998 but also in group exhibitions such as the Royal Academy Summer Show, the Mall Galleries, and Gallery 21, Cork Street.
After exhibiting at the LASALLE Gallery in Singapore in June 1999, his next exhibition is scheduled for Hong Kong, followed by Bangkok in November, and the Barbican Centre, London, in December.
