About The Artist

"I consider myself an abstract artist often including elements of recognisable context (places we know well). I paint using colour to represent light and dark areas. Being fascinated with perspective, line, space and colour I experiment with interpreting the world around especially in the relationship of buildings to their setting and the energy they portray. I try to simplify by abstracting detail into related plains of colour painting in a hard edge way. I have sort to deepen my understanding in the connection between art as a representational creative process to what we see in the world around us.

I began painting in the mid1960s moving from Op Art to Geometrical Abstraction. I want to draw the viewer into a conversation from a simple pattern to the relationship between art and mathematical spatial awareness.

I’d love to share with you the passion that drives me."

Organized by

Liverpool Art Fair

Liverpool Art Fair is an annual event aiming to showcase a wide range of affordable original art by a plethora of local artists; providing a unique insight into the region’s creative talent and the opportunity for everyone, from seasoned collector to first time art buyer, to own their own piece of the Liverpool art world.

Liverpool Art Fair was launched in May 2012 as part of the inaugural Liverpool Art Month, at the then brand new Camp and Furnace, which again hosted the event in 2013. In 2014 we moved to The Gallery Liverpool, where the event was held for three years. In 2017, we were invited to relocate to the Pier Head and also grew from a 4 day to a 10 week event. We held very successful events here for two years, in a purpose-built gallery constructed from five shipping containers, welcoming over 40000 visitors, showcasing the work of over 100 local artists each year and selling hundreds of art works to customers from across the region, the country and the world!

Liverpool Art Fair is back for an eighth year in the summer of 2019 in an exciting new venue!

We are bringing Liverpool Art Fair into the heart of the city centre thanks to our new partnership with Liverpool’s most stylish designer shopping mall, Metquarter. This exciting new venue, which also recently welcomed the sophisticated Everyman Cinema, will allow us to hold our longest event yet, running for 80 days from mid-June.

Come along and experience the work of some of the region’s most talented visual artists, and with prices starting at just £20 you won’t leave empty handed!
