Born 1957 in Essex - Great Britain. Died 2000 in Norfolk - Great Britain.
“Nobody taught me to paint. I just decided to one day. I did painting for a change, to make up situations with words from my head. A flash came in my mind that had never come before.
I love thinking of things in my mind that can become objects. I see objects that may come into the future so we might be able to learn how to do things.
I do art painting so I can learn a lot. I start by using the gift in my head to learn, then I use my fingertips to draw! I define my pictures by using their names. I use my eyes to look over different shapes and then I draw.
I can make a shape come right out by the colours I use. With paint I can make a violin look like a whale, or a trombone look like a completely different shape and size!
I like painting and drawing a lot, I can show the waves in my brain, I paint things from the past, from history and I hope you like the outcome!
I hope you like the pictures.”
