I've been painting for around 57 years and other than the occasional short course im mostly self taught.
Previous to painting I spent 10 years as a fused glass artist winning a competition at Creative Glass Guild in 2015 with a design of a 3D yacht.
However, I found a new passion in life and enjoy working with colour and light in both acrylics and oils, taking inspiration from the countryside around me but most of all I have a love of animals and enjoy painting them in their many forms, including pet portraits.
I also dabble a little in Photography, rural and city landscapes.
I've entered the SAA Artist of the Year competition twice, both times progressing to the final stage of the competition.
