From as far back as I can remember I would spend hours drawing and painting. At the age of 13 I went to an Art School which was a school attached to the Art College in Nottingham, where I later studied Graphic Design.
After college I worked in Repertory Theatre as an Assistant Set Designer before getting married and moving to Cornwall in 1970. Painting began to take a more prominent role in my life as my children grew up. Much of my work I would describe as domestic realism, with maybe a poetic edge to them.
I use dreams, fears, memories mostly from childhood,
lines from poems, overheard gossip, everyday normalities, sometimes a little sinister but mostly cosy.
