Biography

I've been painting people's faces since I could hold a
paintbrush. I encountered my first patron when I was
about 17 years old. He was a local disco DJ (this was
around 1970/71) and commissioned portraits of rock
and pop stars painted with fluorescent poster paint.
I discovered oils around the same time and since then
it has always been my preferred medium.

In 2006 I joined the
Hesketh Hubbard Art Society and in 2009 became the Honorary
Secretary. The Society is open to anyone with a passion for drawing and holds an
annual exhibition at the
Mall Galleries (just off Trafalgar Square)

In December 2009 I became a member of the
United Society of Artists.

Their next exhibition is at the Menier Gallery near London Bridge in April 2010.

My daughter, who appe
ars in many of my paintings, is now an accomplished artist with
her own web site. You can see samples of her work by visiting
