Born in 1934, I graduated in mechanical engineering at King’s College London. I then worked as research scientist at the Royal Aerospace Establishment, Farnborough. However, I maintained a keen interest in painting and wood engraving  and became an exhibiting member of both the Farnham and Guildford  Art Societies in the early 1970s. Now retired, I pursue an active artistic career as a painter and printmaker.

I paint in watercolour, oils and mixed media and create original print images through the challenging medium of wood engraving, often using my paintings as an inspiration for the graven image. A great enjoyment is painting “en plein air” and subjects include land, marine and river scapes.           

Also, my background as an aviation researcher stimulates a keen interest in painting aircraft. Major achievements in my artistic career have been election to membership of the Guild of Aviation Artists, (GAvA), the Society of Wood Engravers, (SWE), the Wapping Group of Artists and recently as an Associate of the Royal Society of Painter- Printmakers (ARE).

I also show my work in the annual exhibitions of the above societies and I am a regular exhibitor in open exhibitions of the Royal Watercolour Society, the Royal Society of Painters in Water Colours and the Royal Society of Marine Artists. Also, I regularly exhibit my wood engravings in the Originals Contemporary Print Exhibition at the Mall Galleries, where I have won prizes.
