I am an artist; but my family would tell you, I am simply a dreamer.
I was lucky as, from a very early age; my dreams were shaped by the intense colours of Italy.
We had a celebrated Italian painter friend then, Eliot, who I apparently watched sitting from a step, for hours. I have never stopped drawing and making since.
Born in Taunton to an Italian father and French mother, we moved to South London, where I still live with my teenage son and where my practice is based.
My path to art has not been the usual one. I fell into the sciences, working for ICI for a brief stint, culminating with a Ph. D from UCL in 1996 on the Quantum behaviour of silicon. But I was also attending Goldsmiths College in the evening to study fine art.
Like a lost melody that kept resonating in my head, the two worlds just seemed, linked.
In addition to painting, I then set up a successful, consultancy delivering creative science and maths to children and teachers and that too, has crossed into my practise.
Children are the most creative of all thinkers as they simply don’t get ‘impossible’. In 2006, I finished a BA in Fine Art and since then, have shown extensively as well as taught and lectured at all levels including for companies such as Glaxo and The BBC.
I am currently a Visiting Fellow, delivering a new body of lectures on Creativity, to Engineers and Scientists. This is leading me onto exciting new collaborations with businesses as well as more public speaking.
Creativity in any arena, really does strike me as a necessary evolution
Apart for my passion for making connections,
We really are just the sum of all the things we experience and the people we meet. This holds truer for artists than for most as we tend to display our experiences in our art.
Throughout the past few years I have had the good fortune to work in collaboration with some very special people.
One of whom inspired me to experiment and perfect an extension to my Work in Light . The respected and renowned author, Physicist and so much more: Arthur I. Miller. I had read Arthur's first book
and he fascinated me and our thinking was very similar. Arthur suggests that boundaries are breaking down between science and art, seeding a third culture.
Many discussion, debates and good coffee moments were had and then inspiration descended and I proposed a collaboration, his face and my art. It was a resounding success.

We are now looking for the right venue to display the work 
somewhere suitable for a short term display. When we find it, I will let you all know.

In the meantime, I am continuing the journey that is my life. I am exploring and creating and generally loving the entire process.
I think that I am a painter, who sculpts.
Using everyday throw away transparent plastics inspired by geometry and natural forms, I melt and draw them out into new shapes and light them. An innovative process based on scientific and engineering processes, through reflection and refraction, colour takes on a material, physical form which changes as you move.
Often described as a ‘Quantum Artist’ or Sci-Artist because of my dual background as artist and physicist and the dual nature of the light I use, I realise these titles may no longer be sufficient. In actual fact I need only write I am an Artist.
