As a photographer from an early age beginning with a Box Brownie I progressed through many analogue cameras, I spent many years progressing up to DSLR photography ultimately achieving my Associateship with the The Royal Photographic Society in 2011. I then became interested in other printmaking art forms learning how to combine my photographic imagery onto Photopolymer Etching plates from the West’s legendary John Howard Studio. I print these plates individually from my Gunning no.2 etching press from my studio.
I also use the cyanotype process with my images which originated in the 1840’s being one of the first non-silver technologies used to create photographic cyan blue prints.
As a Photo-Artist and printmaker living in West Cornwall, much of my inspiration is taken from the wild Celtic landscape that I have loved and lived in for most of my life. The coast, the sea and the moors, isolated places attract me the most where I can study and capture our natural world.
I am a member of Lizard Art Co-operative at Lizard Art Stableyard Gallery, situated in the historic Trelowarren Estate, Mawgan-in-Meneage, Helston, Cornwall TR12 6AF where my latest work can be viewed and purchased.
I have exhibited in London (Royal Albert Hall), Vienna, New Mexico, Bonn & Cologne,Germany and Nagoya Japan.
I am also represented by the photographic agencies ARCANGEL & ALAMY
