I was born in Winscombe in the Mendips and now live at Stoodleigh in the Exe Valley. After studying at the West of England College of Art in Bristol, 1946-50 and 52-53, specialising in painting, I taught Art and Craft in secondary schools until early retirement in 1983. I taught evening classes at Swindon Art College and tutored in slipware at teachers’ courses. Other work at that time included designing and painting theatre scenery.

I have exhibited paintings, drawings, sculptures and 3D pictures in a variety of venues including a joint, 2 person show at Taunton Museum in 2006.

My paintings are mainly figurative, based on memories and ideas created from sketches drawn in situ.

The colour is intrinsic to the design and often helps to describe the mood and light source.
