I was born in Enfield but grew up and went to school in Portsmouth and Southsea and my early work was produced around that area. I often painted beach scenes, the docks and the surrounding countryside plus portraits of family and friends. Here is a larger collection of my Portsmouth and Southsea paintings and drawings in a Google photo album (most of which I still have). I attended Portsmouth Art College in the mid-sixties. Further study and details of exhibitions are detailed on this page.
For enquiries please contact via cambridgeartstudio@gmail.com but I generally do not send work out. Over the years many paintings have found collectors via small galleries, art societies and personal contact. I am not over-ambitious in my pricing. I have shown work at the Cambridge Drawing Society every year since 1983 usually with sales. I have a small garden building useful for hanging a changing selection of work and there is a mass of unframed work in portfolios. Some photos of the studio in the garden are in a Google album here. If you want to look at work in the studio that can be arranged and I can normally provide a parking space. Eager to hear about exhibition opportunities and secluded sketching locations near Cambridge.
I am using BlueSky and also Threads and Instagram
Please ask if you want me to identify any paintings that might be mine.
