About the Artist
Born 1946 in Oxford UK
ARTIST / SCULPTOR/ONLINE GALLERY
I have always had to do my own thing !
I taught myself how to make paper sculptures from prints which I sold in many craft shows and at COVENT GARDEN IN LONDON .
When people started to copy me I decided to go to Art school to learn how to use oils and for many years I was a artist /painter .
When I attended Art School (Byam Shaw Art School ) I was told at art school I was unteachable as whatever I did you would always know it was me who did it !
In the last 3 years I have attended Hatfield University and with Paul Bainbridge as my tutor & after learnig how to make an armiture Iwas off on my own again and
had to teach myself how to make a mould ==not my favourite thing at all but it saves money !.
I am now learning ceramics 8 week course one day a week , to go along side of my sculptures anther journey .
I am now making Garden Sculptures that sell through Exhibitions and on my web site www.artdorgallery.co.uk
I must state I LOVE SCULPTURE and am only sorry I did not learn much much earlier in my life !!

Artist Statement
Most artists just feel the need to explain their work.
Regardless of one’s ability to write, writing about your work
poses unique problems that very few artists are equipped
to deal with. Consequently, most artists’ statements
become overly personal explanations about what art means
and what they are trying to accomplish in their work.
Every artist wants his or her work to be
understood and appreciated in the context in which it was made.
However, very few artists are able to articulate intelligent
insight into how to achieve that level of understanding,
nor should they.
Part of the joy, from an observer’s point of view comes from the
primary experience with the art bringing to his or her own
personal and intimate connection.
If those things are spelt out for them, before they have
an opportunity to develop that connection, a huge part of the
experience of appreciating the art is missing.
