A former illustrator with Associated Freelance Artists, London.

A graduate of Fine Art (Drawing & Painting) Glasgow School of Art and post graduate Jordanhill College of Education. Art and Craft teacher, Scotland & Cheshire Secondary Schools. Now full time painter and part time lecturer at Walford College.

My work has evolved over the years towards a more abstract approach. Concerned largely with the landscape and occasionally returning to narrative figurative subjects.Much influenced by my years in Scotland, the Scottish landscape, the 'Colourists' and the light.

I studied with David Donaldson (head of painting,Glasgow) James Robertson and Barbara Rae.Later influences include Keith Vaughan. Nicolas de Stael, Patrick Heron et al.

A regular exhibitor throughout the U.k. Three prize winning paintings are in the permanent collection of the Williamson Art Gallery and Museum (Part of the Merseyside Tate Group) Other prizes were awarded at Glasgow School of Art, R.B.S.A. Friends and S.A.D.A.
