/ about this Gallery

NOTE: This image is also used as being representative of a means of 'escape' - somewhere I 'disappear to' and be creative !

The gallery's name " CiCi" originates from early 1980s when it was the name of my shop selling designer fashion clothes with its own label. However when other work commitments became a priority, the shop (and its range of clothes) was forced to close although its name was retained for my freelance teaching. In the 1990s, the name was adapted for use by an advertising agency where I enhanced artistic design and computer skills but in 2005, this also shut its doors although I continued with CiCi's use for freelance teaching.

In 2013 relocating to the south west, CiCi went back to its original roots which in the past, the CiCi logo had used a variety of different colours and styles - many adapted purely for business purposes. It was given a make-over and became CiCi Creations (as above) where in its next phase, the colours representa

 the start of a creative journey ... one I personally wanted to begin many years ago when still at school!

The background image (as above and background imagery) depicts my earliest memory of somewhere I found especially inspirational and how I perceived the sights around me in West London during the 1960s.
