I started painting in oils in the early 80's and was completely self taught. Since the mid 90's I have been painting mainly in watercolours and have this year had some limited edition prints produced.

Paintings consist mainly of local landscapes including many Suffolk villages, rivers, boats and places of interest.

My work is exhibited in several mixed artist local exhibitions during the year (many raising funds for local charities and churches) and also in the Ipswich Tourist Information centre throughout the summer.

I enjoy travelling and have recently had holidays to Eastern Canada (Quebec, Ottawa Sault Ste. Marie Toronto and Niagra Falls) Western Canada (Vancouver, Vancouver Island, Jasper and Banff in the Rockies) and this year to California (SanFrancisco, L.A and SanDiego) and the Grand Canyon, Los Vegas and Yosemite National Park.

Being a keen photographer, taking many photos locally (mainly to use for reference in paintings) and lots on holidays. Take a look in the Photographs section of this Website for a few of my favourites.

West End musicals I love, my current favourite being Les Mis. and Mama Mia!
