Varied and Challenging
Stared out in 1970's Luton Tech college on a 4 year Technical Illustration course under Mike Wrigglesworth (thankyou), Further self taught knowledge was gained by inspirational artists books, prints, and magazines, Brain tumour ME/CFS stopped me in my tracks again using artist books/prints self taught myself Oil and Pastels then started painting Animals/Pets/Wildlife. Painted large murals / fairground (showman) rides and taught numerous and different lessons in adult education as well young offenders / adults.
Today - Semi retired busy painting mainly animal/wildlife with affordable pastel pets.
