In 1980 I completed my foundation art course at Oxford Polytechnic. The following year I attended Bristol where I gained a BA Hon’s degree in Fine Art. Since then I have continued painting, drawing and printmaking. I taught life drawing at the East Oxford Community Centre and I attended St Gregory’s School helping with the A’ Level art course.
I have shown my work at the Old Fire Station and the Zoology Department at Oxford University. I completed several modules in Art History at the Oxford University Continuing Department of Education
I am a member of the Oxford Art Society and the Oxford Printmakers Co Op. And with both groups I have shown my artwork on a regular bases. I have also shown my Artwork during Art Weeks in different venues around Oxford. Including the Museum of Oxford, the Christadelpian Hall and at the John Radcliffe Hospital. I have taken part in group exhibitions at Art Jericho and the Cornerstone Gallery, Didcot, and the New brewery Arts Centre.
I always draw from life using the environment around me as inspiration. The subject of these studies can be any thing from Landscape and studies of Oxford to life drawing and Portraits. And from these drawings I produce Etchings and Paintings.
