About the Artist |
As you can see, there are two boxes below. The information in both boxes is true but, I think you will agree, contains very different biographical details. I leave it to you to decide which box you read first.

About the Art
I love wild places and the traditions of the people who live in them. To travel in the desert is an adventure in sight and sound. The colours are vibrant and exotic and the sounds resonate with excitement. One of my enduring childhood memories is of waking in my sleeping bag just before dawn and listening to the sounds of the wind in the sand, the owls calling, the night creatures hurrying home, and the day creatures just waking up. I always felt I was listening to secrets and stories that were being told just for me. I always feel that the histories of the people who inhabit these wild places are their human interpretation of experiences like this.
Time to explore
There are five galleries for you to explore. I hope you enjoy my work.
