My first interest in art was as a collector of early English watercolours. I moved to East Anglia in the early seventies and began drawing and sketching and came under the influence of the Norwich School of Artists and took up watercolour painting, tackling scenes in East Anglia and rural landscapes. For well over a decade I’ve continued to experiment with different media and gradually extended my subject matter.

I now work confidently with watercolour, gouache, oils, mixed media or for that matter, anything else, which will make the painting better! My current work is mainly landscapes, characterised by bold colour and painterly, dynamic gestures giving an impression both of the subject and my artistic response to it.

In February 2010 I will be showing over 60 works in a major exhibition at the Minories Art Gallery in Colchester.
