Art
Paintings & visual work
Outdoors I work in acrylic, plein air landscapes, usually on location in Essex and along the coast. In the studio I use oils. I also make prints: dry point, lino, mono prints, and chine-colleé, a technique where foils and other papers are pressed into the plate during printing to become part of the image. Art and design have always been the same practice for me: looking carefully, then making something from what you see.

Community arts project
Tollesbury Arts Trail
I help organise the Tollesbury Arts Trail, a community arts walk through the village that brings together local artists and brings visitors to the area. Part of what the Nearmark platform was built for.

Nearmark
The GPS-based location-aware app platform I built that powers the Tollesbury Arts Trail and the LGBT Heritage walking tours. Open-source, free to self-host, built for communities without technology budgets.
