A personal message from the artist:

I have always been drawn to creating things, “Idle hands are the devils work”, is probably a good description of my personality. I find that if a day goes by that I have not achieved some modicum of creativity I am depressed with myself and it is that which drives me forward.

I went to Jacob Cramer Art College and studied there for one year, I meet and associated with other now well known artists. I then went on to do a degree in Scientific and Technical Graphics in Falmouth, which took four years, more academic than artistic, though still with a creative bias, but I was also keen to make a good living for myself. I started work as a graphic designer at Harlec Television (HTV) Bristol, and for a while was very happy doing all of the computer graphics during my time there.

I was then lured away to work with the family business, which I have now been doing for 18 years. In that time I have concentrated on Landscapes, watercolours and Acrylic Portraits and Landscape photography, Highly detailed, photo-like in their reproduction, but there was a creative gap in my life, I feared to do what I really longed to do which was create modern works of art.

My break with the past came when I bought an apartment in Budapest. I wanted it to be ultra modern, and filled with modern art. After fully restoring the apartment I set about deciding what to create and to give my work a unique feel. I had been creating things in my mind for a long time, shelving things away. The idea of using nails to create my image came about some 16 years ago and I have been harbouring the idea at the back of my mind for so long. At first I wanted to do pure abstract images but that was a bridge too far...
