I will next be exhibiting at Wendover Art Club - 2/3 June - see below for further details

At the art & craft shows, and Bucks Open Studios, I have an extensive range of original paintings, prints, notelets and postcards for sale at very competitive prices!

 

Welcome to my website!   I am a UK artist, based in Wendover, Buckinghamshire.   I have been painting and drawing semi-professionally for over 30 years, mainly in oil, acrylic, ink and watercolour.   I studied art at Westminster Kingsway College, with Charles Johnson, and have successfully participated in many art shows and exhibitions

I am particularly inspired by buildings and townscapes, colours and texture.   Venice has been a particularly rich source of material for me - my most recent visit was in April 2012, when I completed a number of paintings 'en plein air'

 

 

 

An Italian Balcony - Acrylic on Canvas - 16 x 20" 

My work is inspired by images from my travels - mainly architectural studies, townscapes and landscapes. I hope you will enjoy viewing my work.  My website is constantly changing, so please bookmark the site and come back for another look soon!
