Bio

I haven't had any formal make up training, but have been fortunate enough to attend two of the best Art Schools in the world. At 19, I studied illustration at Art Centre in Pasadena, California, and ten years later a BA and MA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths College in London. Most of my research while at Art School has focused on analysing faces. I have done this through studying sculpture, painting, design, photography, sociology, facial attractiveness, anthropometrics, forensics, perceptual psychology and any other field that I find revelant.
All in all I have been drawing and painting faces for over 35 years and I still feel as though there are many more areas to explore. That is why I call myself a "Face Fanatic".

Born Vancouver, Canada.

Studied Fashion Illustration at Art Centre College of Design, California.

1992-1995 BA Fine Art Goldsmiths College

1995-1997 MA Fine Art Goldsmiths College
