“A painting tells a story and how that story is interpreted is up to the individual. The titles to my paintings have always been an important part of the painting itself. The title often tells you what the painting is really about: about the part that is hidden in a bunch of flowers that you may or may not want to find. ‘Tell me a story’ suggests a way into these paintings and their titles and the stories that made them.” CURRICULUM VITAE b. 1967 STUDIED 1985-86 Falmouth School of Art : Cornwall : Foundation Course Diploma. 1986-89 Goldsmiths College : London : B.
