I long ago stopped thinking of myself as a photographer and more as an abstract artist, using the camera as my principal medium.

What I try to create straddles the edgelands between photography and mixed media abstract expressionism - inspired by painters such as Hodgkin, Feiler, Rae and Ryman. My quest is for visual poetry as I attempt to reflect an emotional response to my subject rather than replication. In this, I fail more often than I succeed.

I have exhibited widely and my book, ‘Abstract Mindedness’ has sold out.
