I was born in Kent in 1950 and had a passion for drawing from an early age, I benefited greatly from a post-war education that gave time and status to Art . I studied in Bristol ( Batchelor of Education Honours Degree 1972) and taught in Primary Schools 1972 - 2000. A move to Dorset in 1985 gave me the opportunity to study for Illustration and Fine Art HNC qualifications at the Art Institute at Bournemouth . I currently teach Life Drawing and short courses in pastels, drawing and watercolour. Drawing is fundamental to my work . I draw and paint directly from the subject using a spontaneous expressive line - editing intuitively. I am inspired by travel and seeing new places but equally respond to domestic subject matter - intriguing arrangements, complex interiors and of course the ultimate challenge of figures and portraits. I am an elected member of the Pastel Society and serve as their archivist, and the Chairman of Bournemouth Arts Club .I exhibit regularly in a number of galleries and Open Exhibitions and have been given awards at the Discerning Eye, New English Art Club and the Pastel Society . |
