Primarily a self-taught artist, I paint semi-abstract/abstract landscapes referenced from travel throughout Europe and the U.K.

After a long career as an advertising/ commercial photographer I now take an active interest in arts related subjects and organisations having previously served as a committee member of the Friends of The Royal West of England Academy.

 I am an Associate member of both 44AD gallery in Bath and The Heart of The Tribe gallery in Glastonbury. My work is in private collections in London, Italy, Lithuania, Sweden and the West of England.
