Graduate of Hornsey College of Art and the Slade School, London.
Trained primarily in etching and aquatint under Michael Rothenstein at Hornsey and Bartholomew dos Santos at the Slade. Expertise and repertoire as a printmaker has expanded over time generating deep layers of imagery. Subject matter includes fantastical, historical and representational themes often using collaged imagery - of politics and patriotism; religion and royalty ;sex and gossip ; the strange and exotic. Default imagery, however, is always that of the Horse. Etchings and lithographs have been described as
both decorative and chaotic.
