Artwork Description

This small study was produced in conjunction with my larger painting "You Know You Know". I was interested in depicting the uncertainty of driving an unknown road, particularly in the heavily-forested areas of Europe; the Ardennes in this case, and the regulatory influence of the yellow line as opposed to the chaos of nature that surrounds you. Then, out of nowhere, a light in the distance...

Artist Bio

I loved to draw and paint from a very early age. I was fascinated by the capability of artists to bring to life the world around them; to represent form, light and shade; to create three dimensions within two.

Simultaneously I was drawn to photography. From my earliest self-processed black and white prints to the sophistication of modern digital manipulation, I have always taken pictures.

In my professional life I established and ran successful creative businesses in London, Luxembourg, Malaga, Berlin and Sydney. I held senior roles in prominent design practices and advertising agencies, including the creative directorship of Europe's first online service.

More recently I taught design at universities and design schools in Sydney, Australia and Southern Spain with particular focus upon sustainable design thinking, human-centred design and developing successful design practice.

I began my career as a junior illustrator in London. It's therefore appropriate that with more time on my hands these days I should return to my first love.
