I grew up in Africa and England and from the age of six I loved to paint and knew that this was what I wanted to do always.
As a young person, I became involved in the political and social movements of the time. I found that screen printing was a good way to get these ideas across. Later I worked as a commercial screen printer.
I returned to more personal painting and print making with the birth of my children.
I moved to Los Angeles in 1991 and have since taken part in numerous exhibitions.

I want my paintings to speak for themselves. I look for a certain power and simplicity in my work, images that work at a gut level which also invite a wry, humorous look at life. I like to challenge bland emotions and poke fun at sacred cows.
