Welcome to my web site .Please feel free to browse my galleries where you will find a selection of my work.
I have been painting for twenty years with a small group of eminent artists and firmly believe that to mingle with fellow artists is of great benefit.The exchange of techniques and advice is generally advantageous and is one of the reasons that I regularly attend workshops and life classes.
Until recently my preferred medium has been watercolour,I love the immediacy and unpredictability,but during the last 3-4 years I have been developing a unique style with oils.
The majority of my work is either painted on site or developed from sketches. I do believe however,that sound drawing skills provide the basis of all painting,whichever the chosen medium.My work is loose realistic with subjects ranging from landscapes,marine/river scenes as well as portraits and life.I have painted extensively in France and Italy.
I am an exhibiting member at both Farnham and Guildford Art Societies and have shown at the Royal Watercolour Society at Bankside as well as The Chelsea Art Society.I have also exhibited in France .KD Fine Art at Compton Nr Guildford have a number of my paintings in their Gallery.In 2007 I was invited to exhibit at the prestigious Yvonne Arnauld Theatre.I have exhibited with The Royal Society of Marine Artists at the Mall Gallery. I also exhibit with Lincoln Joyce Fine Art at Great Bookham near Leatherhead.
In 2007 I was elected as a member of the Wapping Group of Artists.They are a small group of no more than 25 who meet regularly during the summer and paint at various locations along The Thames and in London.They hold an annual exhibition at The Mall Galleries in February each year.This year there will be an additional exhibition at The Guildhall in London
I have held a number of one man shows in Surrey and Hampshire and have paintings in many private collections in Europe and around the world.
