“A remarkable contemporary artist that demonstrates the
enormous breadth of talent that combines the traditional values
of painting with a modern flair..”
The Late Sir Peter O’Sullevan
I am not quite sure of the exact date my association
commenced with Geoffrey and the OSG, but I’m sure it
was in an establishment in Covent Garden over a glass
or two of Red. My first one man show was in 1997, it
was a momentous moment for me and I thought I had
arrived! Twenty-six years later and five more one man
shows, I realise I still haven’t!
The ideas continue to flow, the necessity to create every
day is undiminished, frustration and doubt always lurking
and brief moments of sublime inspiration pushing me
onwards.I am truly thankful to Geoffrey for his
unwavering patience, humour and encouragement that
has allowed me to continue to experiment and develop
as a painter.
I wish the gallery continued success so it can offer
support to all of their artists.
