I don't remember a time when I wasn't drawing or painting. I recall my
father teaching me the rudiments of perspective at a very early age,
drawing receding telegraph poles to the horizon line.

Later, I attended Epsom Art College studying graphics back in the days
of linotype presses and metal typo, long since superseded by computer
technology. From there I worked in London agencies for some years, when
Fleet Street was the thriving hub of the newspaper industry.

Some years later, disillusioned with it all, I quit for pastures new but
continued with freelance work and returned to fine art for my own
enjoyment, when time permitted in between bringing up a family and
endless diy jobs!

I initially worked in watercolour but, on acquiring a large amount of
oil tubes, started in this medium, though still occasionally returning
to watercolours.

My main subject matter is landscape but I also enjoy the challenge of
abstract painting with varied success.Some consider it an easy option. I
beg to differ!

Over the years I have completed a good many commissions, including
classic and racing cars and houses.
