October Angel - Mixed Media

Having painted since childhood, I will always enjoy the world of art, and all that it entails.

I was lucky to chance on inspired art teachers in my earliest school days; specially so, later on, at Stowe. Towards the end of my time there, I abandoned plans to pursue business studies and economics, instead embarking on a full course at the Architectural Association, London.

Contained Landscape - Mixed Media

Election to membership of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours in 1984 proved to be a turning point; earlier conventional ideas gave way to a more experimental approach. This continues to evolve, and I am concentrating now on watercolour and mixed media, sometimes with the addition of collage.

 Angel Amazed - Mixed Media

It is my intention to further explore imaginative subjects, broadening the scope of my approach to them. Meanwhile, in my turn, I continue to run an experimental modern painting course during the spring and autumn each year.
