“In the summer of 2023 I put a call out on Social Media asking if any of my UK followers were Punks in the late 1970’s or Psychobillys in the early 1980’s. This exhibition was inspired by the photographs that I was sent.
I left Diss High School in 1982 with an Art O’level. In 1995 I took evening classes in Norwich to gain an Art A’level qualification. That is as far as my formal art education went. Between leaving school in 1982 and the summer of 2018, aside from those A’level classes, I didn’t paint or draw at all.
In 2018 I decided to give painting a try and since then I’ve not stopped. I paint portraits, so far mostly of musicians and sports personalities.
I have handled commissions and have sold work around the UK, the USA, Australia & Europe.”
