Biography

Studied at Brighton School of Art, Farnham School of Art. Afterwards at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School. Taught at schools in Surrey and Sussex. Travelled extensively in Italy studying the early frescoes. In 1987 made his first carvings in wood, first exhibited at Trinity College, Dublin, and exhibited his paintings over many years.

He has had ten one-man exhibitions in London and elsewhere in Britain. His work has been shown in many mixed exhibitions including The Royal Academy and The London Group. With both of these his work has travelled on tours throughout Britain. His paintings and sculpture are represented in many private collections in Britain, Germany, Italy, Denmark, Canada and the USA.

Writing has been a more recent occupation alongside his visual work, consisting of essays, poems, articles and short stories. For more details please see the Books page. 

He is currently working on a series of paintings based on the title  'Annunciation,' using it as a starting point for two figures in a room. Colour studies are being shown on the paintings page of the website as the project develops.
