Curriculum Vitae
I am an artist and tutor who lives and works in London, working mainly from my Studio at Euroart Studios in Tottenham, and running courses in Sculpture and drawing at a variety of venues. I was trained initially as a carver at City and Guilds Art School in the 80’s and then studied Sculpture at Sir John Cass College where I discovered oxyacetylene welding. In 1994 I graduated from Central St Martin’s with a BA with first class honours in Fine Art. Since my MA in 2003 I have rediscovered working in metal, and begun to explore drawing and printmaking as the core of my practice.
