Prenzlauer

This artwork portrays a solitary figure walking through a dimly lit subway corridor in Prenzlauer, Berlin. The walls are lined with turquoise tiles, creating a rhythmic pattern that guides the viewer's eye toward a distant vanishing point. Overhead, stark fluorescent lights reflect on the polished floor, enhancing the scene's depth and evoking a sense of solitude and introspection. The figure, dressed in a striking blue dress, becomes the focal point, her presence both modern and timeless. To her right, vibrant posters inject a burst of colour, contrasting with the muted tones of the corridor. The composition masterfully plays with light and perspective, crafting a narrative of urban isolation and the ephemeral nature of transit spaces. The artwork encapsulates a moment of quiet contemplation within the bustling anonymity of city life.

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.
