After studying for four years at Croydon and Hammersmith Art Colleges, I taught adult education classes at Newport, Isle of Wight.

As my personal style was developing, I worked mainly in watercolour and oil. Later I came to love the spontaneity of pure pigment working with pastel. More recently I returned to oil for its richness and subtle depth of colour. For the latest figurative studies I am using acrylic, which has an immediacy and brightness that suits the mood of the poses.

Working from life was my first love and has been my enduring passion. I have been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with a great many talented life models over the years. I continue to spend time each week in the studio honing my drawing skills.

My paintings have been displayed at galleries and exhibitions in the United Kingdom and Continental Europe.
