I am an artist, costume maker and re-enactor. I went to Sandroyd School , then Bedales School. After that I went to Putney School of Art, Wimbledon School of Art and graduated from Kingston University.
I have been going to Science Fiction conventions since 1987 and have been a Medieval Re-enactor since 1992.
I have previously been a member of the Far Isles Medieval Society, the Sealed Knot and the Medieval Siege Society.
I am currently a member of the Paladins of Chivalry.
I have been entering costume in competition since 1987 and was made a Master Costumer at the 2005 Worldcon in Glasgow by winning the Best In Class award as a Journeyman.
I have been exhibiting and selling artwork at Science Fiction conventions since 1987 and also exhibit at local art shows.
The beautiful people of the Renaissance take their ease...
You may note that I
used the young man from ‘Leather and lace’ again in this painting and the young man in green in the background
is actually my first portrait of Teddy.
This recently completed acrylic falls into the ‘letting my
subconscious out for a jog’ category.
I just paint and see what come out.
Sometimes things get
painted out, other times things get defined. Generally ,some sort of structure becomes
apparent and I go with that until the painting tells me its finished.
