Properties of light inform my work as a painter, but the poetic and metaphorical possibilities of staging light as a central element of installation has developed into an entirely separate strand of investigation and research for me.

Part of this has involved curating and organizing thematic events and exhibitions. Featured here are the two editions of “Light-Proof,” a bi-lateral event for Italian and UK artists, which I curated in June 2001 and 2002. These were group shows of low-budget light installations, dispersed on the sea terraces, beaches and riverbanks of the ‘Terrazza Mare’ nightclub in Jesolo Lido.

I have worked consistently on exhibiting my own work and managing cultural events outside of known venues. I am interested in engaging with people who wouldn’t normally attend, placing art within the places they frequent. ‘Light Proof’ attracted audiences of 3,000 each weekend it was staged, from clubbers unfamiliar with contemporary art. The shows were deliberately timed to coincide with the openings of the Venice Biennale in Art and Architecture.

Featured here (TL to BR) are works by Tony Stallard, Roberto Serena, Lulu Quinn & Julie Westerman, Raimondo Paisini, Carlo Bernadini, Nigel Talbot, Jane Mulfinger, Melanie Jordan and Andrew Hewitt, Andrea Baldo and Alan Rogers, Martin Richman, Emanuela Ficotta and Laura Schillardi.

About Me

Welcome to my portfolio website. There are two sections: one features a small selection of my work as a visual artist, the other a selection of successful projects that I curated, directed, led or project managed within arts development and the public realm.

Identity, place and space link these two areas of work. I draw on specific physical, historical and cultural environments either to inspire and locate my own work or to commission new projects for others.

I founded the b-side festival in 2008 and was Executive Director between 2012-20. During the same time I lectured on the BA Creative Events Management course at AUB and taught Fine Art at Weymouth College.

I moved back to Italy in 2020 and now live and work permanently in Sant' Elena, Venice, Italy.

A current CV can be downloaded from the 'About Me' page on this website.
