| Geoff
was born and raised in the English Lake District but has spent
most of his adult life in the south west of England.
Formerly
a graphic designer and advertising art director Geoff is a
self-taught fine artist working exclusively in oils. In 2005
he was elected a member of the Bath Society of Artists (BSA).
Over recent
years Geoff's main pre-occupation and dominant subject has
been the human head, often viewed from dynamic angles and
usually on a monumental scale. The recurring theme in his
work is the intimate view, whether concerned with figurative
or landscape painting.
Geoff
exhibits mainly in London and the South West, and has paintings
in private collections in the USA & UK .
