I undertook artist training while working as a GP (now retired) first in Sheffield and then Hackney. Completed a Doctorate in Fine Art at east London University in 2006 on “The Psychology of Travel Spaces”,based on research on a Churchill Fellowship travel award to Moscow, Cairo and Kuala Lumpur. Subsequent projects have included How do we remember?, Hackney 365, Edgelands, the Death Mask series, and The History Paintings. The current project on the Roding River returns to explore the landscape of Essex, my interest in walking and maps.
