Artist & GlassArt Profile.
I graduated from Portsmouth Art College in 1970 and then started a graphic design practice on the Isle of Wight. After 40 successful years as ‘Marriott Design’ one of the South’s leading design studios, I decided to turn a new chapter in my creative life to concentrate on being an equally successful artist/designer.
GlassArt
I create sculpted glass pictures that emulate impasto oil painting. Inspiration comes by the landscapes and coastline of the Isle of Wight, sailing, abstract forms or the individual challenge for specific commissions.
Mixed Media Prints
Extending my GlassArt imagery I have reworked them with mixed media and presented them as large format artworks which have had further surface treatments with epoxy resins to enhance the nature of the subject.
Paintings
With an instinctive eye for an effective creative image, my style is variable relative to achieving the best results for a specific commission.
Personal Profile
I am a Trustee of The WightAid Foundation and the arts for welbeing charity, Independant Arts and mentor graphic design students.
