Book Cover for American writer Philip Minehan
I feel incredibly privileged to be asked to produce an image for Philip Minehan’s well received book. It has been a fascinating experience and a great honour…
“Philip Minehan’s masterful and lucid comparative analysis is a must-read for anyone who wants to understand the bloody mid-20th century civil wars in Spain, Yugoslavia and Greece, which influenced the Mediterranean region until the end of the century. This first book by Minehan is a highly recommended tour de force.”

Dorchester Arts Exhibition
I recently entered three paintings in the Dorchester Arts Open Exhibition 2013. I’m really pleased that all three have been selected for exhibition and one, Floating Stone (detail above), has been selected for the event publicity. I am also extremely happy to have received the Exhibition Prize, giving me the chance to produce a solo show for next year’s Dorchester Festival and Dorset Arts Week 2014.

New Painting for 2013
I have recently completed a large new oil painting (240 x 150cm). It is “Amida” a star maker, a figure that creates dust from chaos, from shapeless matter. The painting is now part of the Solterra Art Collection in Spain.
