I have been painting since 1986. As a child I drew all the time and wanted to do Yes album covers(which totally dates me) I attended Maryland Institute College of Art and was very intimidated by the quality of work there. I found oil painting to be completely frustrating. Then a few years later I attended Minneapolis College of Art and Design and felt more at ease with paint.

I only have to see a box of paints or a bag of many colours of wool and I am itching to play around with it. It has long been my ambition to discover a new colour that nobody has ever seen before.
