     I was born in Brighton England in 1958  and attended primary and secondary school in a small provincial town in Sussex. I continued my education at Canterbury College of Art Canterbury Kent,  graduating in 1979,  gaining  a Bachelors Degree in Fine  Art and Art History, majoring in Painting.  I  worked on the London Stock  Exchange whilst continuing to paint in a semi-professional capacity as sales would allow up to 1985.


I embarked on a world trip and arrived in New Zealand February 1987. Initially I was employed in the printing industry as a Photolithographer and later as pre press artist in screen printing. Made redundant in 1991. I decided to pursue my artistic endeavors and began painting full time or rather when my responsibilities as a house husband and father of 4 would allow. More recently I attended life drawing sessions at the Waikato Society of Art (WSA). In 2006 my association with the W.S. A lead to tutoring positions in Oil painting and Life drawing. 


Hopefully the following examples of current work will more fully indicate my artistic direction.   I currently work from my home which I share with a dog and a cat and  I'm building a purpose built studio/gallery space on my property out of straw bales and tires.
     

Yours faithfully
