Hello and welcome to my website which is aimed at giving you a brief insight into my art.
My work is representational and it has always been driven by an interest in shapes, colours and patterns. I use a variety of subject matter; still-life, flowers, interiors and landscapes. I paint in oils on canvas or wood and draw using mixed media.
Over the past fifteen years I have been fascinated by the coal mining landscape including the surface workings of collieries, and I continue to make images of this constantly changing landscape.
I studied painting and printmaking at the Slade School from 1965 to 1969 and since 1980 I have exhibited my work locally and nationally.
My exhibitions include:-
The Royal Institute of Oil Painters, The Hunting Group, The Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and The Discerning Eye.
I have also organised two touring exhibitions of my coal mining images.
My work is in private collections, Doncaster Museum and Art Gallery and The National Coal Mining Museum for England.
