SO WHAT'S ALL THIS ABOUT ??
Hi. Thank you for taking the time to visit my new website, a collection of my photography & artwork. Many of these photographs were taken within the last 20 years or so & the artwork on a similar timeline. When people ask what is the influence etc behind it all, my answer is that I don't honestly know. I do have artist's I like & appreciate and I'm sure like most things, some of it seeps into my creative cesspit.
I've always been creative and had a fascination with the weird & wonderful. So what someone can see as just an old street lamp, I see an alien beacon..or something like that. Perhaps it's boredom? Perhaps its me making life a little less rubbish because life, as we all know, can be hard enough . But Like I say, who really knows.
The thing I find fascinating about any forms of art, is that it's all so subjective. So when we see a piece of art for sale, to me anyway, the price or reputation becomes irrelevant. It's all about YOUR personal value/interpretation of it etc.
Since being diagnosed with the disability, Ataxia in 2013, many things have and indeed continue to change but of the few things to have remained a constant cog in my wheel, so to speak, ( jeez, that's sounds so phoney , apologies ) is my fondness of creativity and I guess my photography and art work is a direct reflection of that.
Anyways, have a look at my selected favourites (as I have a ridiculous amount of stuff that I have amassed) and I welcome any questions etc & also hollà in the absloute rare & freak occurance you wish to purchase a print or anything.
