Over time this website has been left unpublished, this page written and changed a thousand times, scared to get it wrong, worried nobody would appreciate it or approve.
I could tell you about my countless years of experimenting since art college (which was a lifetime ago) or doing commissions, 'working with a wide range of traditional & contemporary materials to develop a unique mixed media painting style’ and that ‘6 months ago everything fell into place, the look & feel, the technique and the subject matter of my original work finally excited me, more importantly, at last I valued it'
The truth is it doesn’t really matter anymore; this is no longer about my insecurities or struggles.
The last few days have been the hardest of my life, our beloved dog Mollie who should have had many wonderful years ahead of her was suddenly & cruelly taken from our lives. Carrying her in my arms and holding her with my wife as she gently fell to sleep is a memory that will hurt for the rest of my days.
At that moment I suddenly found clarity, nothing else mattered but her, she gave me the strength & belief I had long since lost.
The regret of giving up my evenings for the sum of that time when I could have been with her will stay with me forever.
That now needs to mean something, for me, for my beautiful best friend Mollie.
