I have always enjoyed drawing and painting. While still a pupil at Grammar school I also attended Cardiff Art College thanks to the introduction by my art teacher Mr Milton-Smith and was initiated into oil painting. Ever since I have loved using the medium.
After a career in Finance and Insurance I sold my business and in retirement took up painting again more seriously.
I enjoy painting places I know well whether at the coast or in the countryside. Not interested in pure representation my work is about portraying moods and atmosphere. Skies are often an important feature in many of my paintings as well as the elements of light and shade. My aim is to convey the atmosphere and the feeling of the scene with warmth and colour as influenced by an impressionistic genre, the threads of which combine to act as a background to my work.
Some of my work has been exhibited in several South Wales Galleries and many of my paintings hang in homes all over the country.
