About

People have always said in my non-painting life that I have quite an original take on things - maybe this comes out in my art. I learnt to paint at Putney Art School from which I still gain inspiration and at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in Chelsea.

Generally I am interested in people in context or places, though it varies. Providing visual clues rather than ultra realism I find more interesting - or rather that is how it turns out. I paint a wide range of subjects, in a variety of styles but almost always in oils.

If i didn't paint I would probably do basket weaving. I enjoy painting but the more I do, the more frustrating it is. Photos of paintings sometimes enhance them but usually detract from them.



Hopefully the pictures here give you an idea of what the paintings are about - and these are only a small sample. I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed painting them. Remember you could always take up basket weaving, or I could...
