WINNER 1994 Fuji professional award for creative publicity.

Designed posters and movie merchandise for films promoted at the Cannes film festival along with others. I work with paintings of wild seascapes, nature and people based on my love of "People watching".
I am also a keen photographer working mainly in B&W with spot colour to add dimension. I love people and nature especially the body language.
I love free flowing movement and storytelling in my work. My influences are from such masters as George Grosz, Otto Dix, Picasso, Monet, Turner and Matisse.
