About

After retiring from a career in the City in 2000 I have been painting more or less continuously. I have been fortunate in finding some first rate tutors particularly Hugo Greenville, who is one of our leading colourists and a truly inspirational teacher.

I have also completed a years study with Christopher Baker in his School of Landscape and a ten week life drawing course at the Royal Academy. Also painted regularly with Hugh Webster at his shed on the edge of the River Deben at Felixstowe Ferry.

I love painting in new locations and have travelled into the Arctic Circle and Costa Rica with Art Safari and made several trips to The Algarve and Andalusia .I am a keen skier and love painting in the Alps.

Many Suffolk Open Studio Exhibitions in my studio including one show with all proceeds donated to Ipswich Hospital Radiotherapy Unit.( Raised over £4500) and shows with Cobbold and Judd at Hintlesham Hall.

Also with the well respected Chappel Galleries .

Last January I exhibited at Bankside Gallery on the South Bank with Hugo Grenville and his Companions In Colour.

I have been on the Jackson’s Painting competition Long List three times.

I am predominately a landscape painter but also love painting flowers in their natural settings and gardens.I have painted commissions of local Mill Houses and Tudor Hall Houses. I paint mainly in oils but enjoy the challenge of water colour and charcoal.  I am more excited by capturing how it feels than how it looks.
