Philosophy as Art & Practice
I am a writer and artist based in Surrey and London. My sculptures have exhibited at the Mall Galleries (Equestrian Sculpture, 2010) and oil paintings in Notting Hill’s (Blenheim Gallery, 1990). My paintings also appeared in ARTisSpectrum (Agora Gallery, NY) and in 2001 I led a philanthropic art project (Children in Crisis) in the remotest nomad region of the Tibetan Plateau. The sculptures, paintings, and photograph by the nomad children exhibited in London’s Spitalfields Gallery and The Café Royal in 2002. My artwork is owned by collectors in New York, UK, and France.
I was a finalist in the International Equestrian Art&Cavallo Competition, exhibiting ‘Spirit of the Herd’ (5 artworks) in Verona, Italy in November 2021 and received The Jury’s Special Commendation for Sculpture. My work was part of Thrown Winter Exhibition 2021/22 and 73rd Chelsea Art Society, 2022. Pre-selected for the Green & Stone Exhibition, July 2022.
Having charted careers in equestrianism, television, and investment banking technology, raised a family and I now dedicate my life to my art practice as sculpture and philosophy. I have brought innovation and original methodologies to every stage of my life and specialise in Buddhist Zen and Vajrayana meditation practices and vivid dreamwork research.
I am seeking gallery representation and space to exhibit this collection in 2022/23.

'At the core of my motivation is the ‘S’ shaped human spine that enables our bi-pedal uprightness not granted to apes. This is due to a small but significant difference in the neck and lower back region of the spine of humans. I relate this ‘s’ shape to the Buddhist and Vedic ‘s’ shaped energy flow known as tantra and kundalini spiral energy that energises and enhances elevation, and potentially levitation. Throughout my practice I strive to merge and dance, with the clay and pen, not to lose myself per se, but to modulate and render the ‘S’ pulse in 3D. This ‘S’ relates to Lyotard’s ‘libidinal pulse’, making my sculpture practice acts of performative emergence – and as a non-binary and non-dialectic methodology. |
