ART:the definition of :- The production or expression of an artefact according to aesthetic principles of what is beautiful or appealing, involving skilled workmanship, ingenuity, craftsmanship, inventiveness and the ability to portray with 'heaven eyed skill'.
POINTLESSISM: the definition of:- 'Found Objects', 'Instalations', 'Conceptualism', 'Scrawly Splodge Paintings', 'Unmade beds' and all other tongue-tied banal travesties of Art... These immature objects may strike the eye but fail utterly to move the heart.
After training and working in Advertising and Graphic Design I was drawn toward painting and Fine Art. As a self-taught painter I first exhibited in Manchester City, England, and was awarded 'Young Artist Award' by the Manchester Academy of Fine Art, also twice exhibiting at Londons' Royal Academy. Later I was 'Artist in Residence' at Derby City Art Gallery, having been awarded the 'Silver Palette' First Prize.
