Artists statement. Feb 2nd 2009.
Most of my work involves some form of stencilling, whether this be directly stencilling with paint or by creating “layer masks” in photoshop.
I was born in Doncaster, South Yorkshire, in 1969 and first started using stencils whilst at Doncaster College in 1989. I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art in 1994 from what is now UWCN in Newport, Gwent.
I began the 21st century by going back into education to train as a Teacher of Art at UWE in Bristol. I then spent several years teaching at a secondary school in Weston-super-mare, which I continued to do until the summer of 2008.
Since then I have have exhibited in the inaugural exhibition of the “Graphic Expressionism” group at The Waterfront in Plymouth (Sept-Oct 2008), had work included in the “Snap to Grid” group show at the Los Angeles Centre for Digital Art (Oct-Nov 2008) and in the Doncaster Open Exhibition (Nov-Dec 2008). I have received increasingly positive responses to the artwork that I have produced which has resulted in the opportunity to exhibit my work at The Lloyd Gill Gallery in Weston-super-mare in March 2009.
