On leaving school I trained as a Graphic Designer and illustrator, subsequently gaining membership of the Society of Industrial Artists and Designers. ( now The Chartered Society of Designers )

My long and successful career took me around Europe and to America designing for many High Street names and other prestigious companies. Gaining valuable experience in viewpoints on art and design I also picked up a number of awards along the way, some of which can be seen here.

Now retired I have the chance to concentrate on Fine Art; to draw and paint is a need in me that has to be fulfilled so I set aside time every day for this. For many years now I have attended Life Drawing Workshops in order to constantly sharpen the ability to see and therefore to draw.
Most of what I do is of a figurative nature; this coupled with my design background can produce some stylish artworks which look good in almost any situation. I now exhibit with local Societies and have gained by word of mouth, many opportunities to sell my works.
