I was born in Zimbabwe and graduated from the University of Cape Town with a BA in Fine Arts.
Before arriving in England in 1977, I exhibited widely in Zimbabwe, lectured in anatomy and life drawing at the Bulawayo Art College, and presented programs on Rhodesian TV.
From 1979 on, my work became closely associated with the theater, reflecting my deep interest in both actors and dancers. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with many dance companies, including the English National Ballet, the Spanish Dance Society, and Petra Siniawski's Jazz Dance Company.
My last theatrical venture was a series of paintings based on "Fosse," which was at the Prince of Wales Theatre in the West End. I am passionate about dance in all its forms, and my fast method of working has been developed over the years to capture the movement of the dancers as swiftly as possible.
More recently, I have developed a keen interest in landscape. I have found the rhythms of the land and the changing light as fascinating as the movements of the human body. All my work is characterized by the joy of the dramatic and the rich impasto use of oil paint. My landscapes are rich in both color and texture and are all painted in the open air.
For the last eight years, I have also been painting and exhibiting in Italy, where I am lucky enough to have a studio in the south, in the province of Campania.
