Originally from Sussex, I have now lived and worked in Worcestershire for the past 40 years. I studied Fine Art and Printmaking at Liverpool College of Art between 1965 & 1968, followed by teacher training at The University of Liverpool Institute of Education. I have exhibited regularly in London and shown work in galleries and art centres in, Birmingham, Worcester, Malvern, Pershore, Evesham, and Droitwich. My work can be found in public and private collections.
I have consistently been drawn by the power of landscape, occasionally exploring other things but compelled always to return. The elements that make up the physical landscape, wood, rock and earth, are changed by those less tangible; wind, rain and sunshine. Man-made structures within a landscape are transitory, reclaimed by the passing of time and the action of those elements upon them.
In my paintings and drawings I simply try to describe what I see and what I feel about a place. I try to capture the drama and pattern that flows through and the colours that come from within.
