Early Work; 1983-1995

This selection of work was completed during my high school and university days. As a student of art, learning to draw from observation the things around me and related to me, then evolving through early experimentations with abstraction, distortion and allegory to a more cerebral form of expression that result in my first metaphysical work. These works were completed in an ad-hoc manner across this formative period of time and as such are not a cohesive body of work. Merely a collection of my earliest documented works of art.
