I went to Leamington College of Art for a foundation Course then Stourbridge College where I took a B.A. in Fine Arts. Later I attended City University where I took an M.A. in Arts Management in Education. After 3 years of teaching art at a secondary school in the East End of London, I was appointed Head of Art at Queen Elizabeth Boys’ School in Barnet, a post I held for two years before leaving to pursue a more lucrative career in specialist decoration and mural painting. Mural painting led to fine art copies of which I produced so many I have lost count. I received commissions from home and abroad and my work ended up in collections as far afield as the United Arab Emirates, America, Switzerland and France. T
Painting copies helped me develop skills that were not on offer at art college, where representative art was virtually outlawed. After several years I stopped producing copies in order to concentrate on my own original art work.
My work now is based on work executed almost exclusively out on location, primarily in London but also abroad.
