Sinclair has drawn and painted since his earliest years when his parents (British engineer father and Belgian mother) lived in Khartoum in the Sudan. He was sent to school in England, to Worth in Sussex, where noted artist and sculptor Anthony Renouf painted alongside his students. Sinclair started selling paintings to school friends, who still proudly display these pictures in their homes.

During a gap year with his family who had moved to Nairobi, and held a one man show at the New Stanley Gallery which was well reviewed by the East Africa Standard.

 

At Cambridge he graduated in Architecture and Fine Art and continued to hold one man shows in London, Edinburgh and West Flanders. For many years he continued drawing and painting alongside an international career in architecture designing hospitals.

 

In recent years art has taken priority. He has developed his original style and has been widely exhibited. His work has a strong graphic base and a bold palette. There are a lot of European influences, reflecting his mother’s Flemish background, and the subject matter is diverse.
