I have spent most of my life in Yorkshire and have always enjoyed drawing, painting and photography.
In 1981 I founded a graphics / pre-press company specialising in the Decorative and Packaging Markets, employing up to forty personnel, the highlight of which was gaining a Queens Award for Innovation.
I retired early, to leave me more time to concentrate on my painting.
I prefer painting in oils but choose the appropriate media to suit the subject.
Most of my portrait work has been commissioned but in between commissions I work on Landscapes, Floral and also enjoy Life Drawing.
