About me
Graphics & Galleries
After working as a Graphic Designer for more than 30 years, I have now branched out and enjoy creating unique pictures in various mediums, photography, digital art and paintings on canvas. These are now available for sale and I also accept commissions.
Love for graphics
Art and design has always been my passion!
After leaving school, I went to to art college in Cornwall and studied graphic design for four years qualifying with a South West Regional Diploma in Design. In my final year, I specialised in advertising and graduated as an Associate Member of the Chartered Society of Designers.
For many years I worked for design and advertising agencies in and around Brighton, employed or freelance. I run a small design agency, called yoohoo creative (yoohoocreative.com).
An image speaks a thousand words
Professionally, I have enjoyed taking photos for many years, whether art directing, sourcing or editing photos in my graphic design career.
This website showcases my own creations which are now available to buy and enjoy on your own walls.
Limited Edition Prints
In 2021, as the world struggled with the pandemic, I decided to get out my paint brushes again to create abstract art. My paintings explore colour combinations and content that is not literal but has an atmosphere and mood, that stirs emotions. I tend to see something in my head and strive for this, before putting paint to canvas.
Inspiration comes from many places although nature plays a large part in forming my ideas. My work is created on canvas with acrylic paints and I like to explore a range of different textures and tools to produce different effects.
Three dimensions in two
Most of us have hectic lives and we have little time to “stand and stare”. This is why we love to record images, via photography or art, that capture the moment.
My work is creative, eclectic and challenging. I hope you appreciate it as much as I enjoyed its creation!
