Artists Profile
I was born in the village of Essington, West Midlands UK. My school and youth years having been spent in the 1960,s.
I was initially employed as a Technical Apprentice in manufacturing, my ambition was to become a Design Engineer, having excelled at school in art and technical drawing (awarded the final year ‘High Achievement’ prize in both subjects). Through a succession of promotions, most of my working career was in General and Operations Management, with the exception of a brief period when I was a self-employed Business Consultant.
Upon retirement in 2011, I continued my interest in art as a hobby, teaching myself from reference library books; analysing the processes an artist had utilized to produce a particular painting and then copying these, in order to practice and develop my technique.
My early influences came from late 18th century and early 19th century artists, particularly John Constable and some of the Pre-Raphaelites. Recently I have become interested in the more vibrant styles and techniques of the Newlyn School of artists, particularly Stanhope Forbes.
Since retirement I have joined ‘The Walsall Society Of Artists’, launched my web site and registered with online art directories, associations and merchandising outlets.
My paintings have been displayed in art exhibitions, featured in local newspapers, won a national award and are now being sourced by private collectors.
There will be approximately 20 items of Original Oil and Acrylic Artwork on display; and for sale (where indicated)
