About

I completed a BAHons Fine Art, Bristol Polytechnic in 1976, and had some notable tutors: Paul Feiler, Michael Canney, Alf Stockham, David Inshaw and visiting tutors William Scott and Patrick Heron. As students we would stay in Pendeen, near St Ives, and visit Patrick Heron in his studio: the influence of the Cornish artists was significant at the art college. In contrast, Alf Stockham and David Inshaw introduced more figurative and narrative work. Years later, with Twenty Twenty Gallery, I reconnected with Alf Stockham and David Inshaw, visiting their studios and enjoying their exhibitions with us in the gallery.

For me the landscape and the presence of humans are inseparable, there is a constant connection through buildings, boundaries, field names, footpaths and tracks, the marks made on the land.

My work here is a starting point, capturing the essence and feeling of the landscape around me, aware of the past and the current changes.

Each season I will be selling a selection of drawings and paintings and will always have something that is accessible to everyone.
