I was formerly a creative director of ad agencies in London and Newcastle upon Tyne. I was one of the three founder directors of Kinghorn-Davies Advertising of Blandford Square, Newcastle and the company’s Creative Director. Now retired, I produce experimental work in mixed media/acrylics and computer-generated images.

Currently, I am exploring the latent promise of the wax/resin encaustic process, interpreting land, sea and skyscapes by filtering out the distractions of the obvious to allow viewers to experience what they see in the light of their own attitudes, awareness or lifestyles.
My background in graphic design and working with computers has undoubtedly influenced my focus. However, by probing the boundaries of the ancient art* of encaustic, I am discovering new and exciting logic structures that enable me to move beyond the confines of certainty, into a world of visual anarchy.
