Art student in the 1960's. a decade of major social and cultural change; a time of optimism, revolt and mass protest movements that politicised a generation.

Actively involved in non-violent protests with the most important and influential movements of that period, the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament (CND) and against the Vietnam war; a war in which an estimated 3,000,000 people were killed and that was ended mainly due to public protest.

Retiring from a career in the Art world in 2003, I began creating political art full-time, initially about the NATO bombing of Serbia in 1999 and the attack against Afghanistan and Iraq by the United States and Britain, resulting in tens of thousands of innocent civilians being killed, the majority of them women and children.

The art works mainly deal with conflict,peace,poverty and the enviroment. These issues cannot be ignored if we are concerned about the future of our world.

"Killing innocent people is the problem, not the solution" -Anon

"Nine out of ten deaths due to modern warfare are civilians, half of them children"  -    UNICEF

" Art does not only exist to entertain, but also to challenge,challenge what we think - to provoke, even to disturb in a constant search for the truth" Barbara Streisand -Harvard Speech "The Artist as Citizen" 2/3/1995.

" Insuring the vision of the truth, the artist best serves his nation...the artist must also sail against the currents of his time -this is not a popular roll" President John F Kennedy
