I studied Fine Art at Exeter College of Art and until recently lived, worked and painted in Sheffield. I am now based in West Sussex very near the sea. After teaching in schools and universities for many years I took early retirement to dedicate myself to an art career. I have a studio in Colonnade House in Worthing. I devote my time to painting in this studio and sketching in the landscape. I have exhibited successfully in many UK regional galleries including a one person show at the Tarpey Gallery, Castle Donington and two person show at the Longitude Gallery, Clitheroe. I also show at the Affordable Art Fairs in London, Singapore, Hong Kong and New York with the Linda Blackstone Gallery. I was elected in April 2018 as an Associate member of the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists.
