About The Artist

DIGITAL ART

I didn't discover my interest in art and sculpture until just before retirement, having spent most of my working life as a pilot. Life after flying - and before retirement - exposed me to computers. My delight on discovering that Photoshop would allow the malicious yet nondestructive distortion of the (film) photos I'd shot years earlier was overwhelming.

Now I’m slowly learning how to take and edit photos and videos digitally, as well as learning how to paint and draw.

METAL SCULPTURE

I stumbled onto metal sculpture, after deciding that custom made metal porch enclosures were too expensive, so I made my own - as well as several more for other people. However, because they’re so heavy, I switched to creating sculptures, which are either lighter or modular. I also work with weathered rock and timber.

Although I have no formal art or sculptural training, I'm a perpetually autodidactic rookie, happily misguided by neurons synapsing off left, right and centre. Is ambidexterity fashionable yet? I hope not.

So, I'm just eternally grateful that the passion I felt for flying aircraft transferred across to manipulating images on a computer screen to create BIZARRTE digital imagery, as well as twisting iron to create TWISTED IRONY metal sculptures.
