I am a painter and designer, who has worked extensively in a variety of media and in a number of professional artistic roles. 

I was born in Devon in the mid 1950's and relocated to Middlesex and then Norwich at an early age. I studied Fine Art and Graphics at the Norwich School of Art in the late 1970's to the early 1980's, becoming prodigious in fashion and primarily knitwear design owing to the creative opportunities of a fast-evolving period in British Fashion. Alongside my freelance experience in design, i also applied my knowledge to instructing Design Technology and Art at Norwich School and in adult education centres.

My style represents a realistic, detailed overview of all my chosen subjects, due largely to my early grounding in Graphic Design; hence the use mainly of gouache !

After relocating to Morecambe in the mid-2000s, my worked evolved to incorporate an Art Deco aspect, providing a stylistic iconic subtext to my detailed style; this you will see in my works of The Midland Hotel - which echo the style of the 'Holiday Posters' of the day (1930's)

I remain available for private commissions and normally exhibit at The Whale Tale, Arteria, and perhaps most notably, The Midland Hotel in Morecambe, where I serve as the House Artist.  

 

If you would like an original or a giclee print please contact me directly. I may well have priced individual print prices, but as costs are increasing I suggest you contact me for up to date information. Currently I am charging £90 for a framed A3 giclee print and £55 for A4.
