Paint Projects
My painted work from the sub conscience influences of Aboriginal and African markings to the conscience influence and inspiration of Jean Michel Basquiat's mark making and symbolism to the iconography of Andy Warhol and Keith Haring. Whilst not directly influenced by L.S.Lowry, looking closer at some of my work the Northern industrial landscape can be seen running throughout.
I use paint, collage, symbolism, mark making and the appropriation of found imagery to relay messages, reflecting my history and revealing my influences.

From the mid eighties through to the mid nineties it became squat central and a hub for post punk idealism, acid house parties, graffiti, new age travellers and every counter culture imaginable.
