Artist in residence at Ardleigh Park in Essex 1991-1993, and exhibited in 'Art at Ardleigh Park' in 1993. Ian has created art for many years, being inspired by a variety of diverse materials, transient art can often be better than art that sits there forever saying nothing.

Ian has exhibited at Peter Pears Gallery in Aldeburgh; the Harwich Arts Festival; The Hold, Ipswich, and at Ipswich Waterfront Gallery.
