Biography

I'm a self taught Liverpool artist.

I've always been fascinated by drawing and painting, and art in general from my school days at Sefton Park Secondary Modern School, in Liverpool, where the subjects I enjoyed most were Art, Science and English. I've travelled widely during my working days and collected many photographs and images as subjects for painting.


As a Self Employed Artist and Tutor, I give Art Demonstrations and Workshops at local art groups around Liverpool and Manchester and am a Volunteer Artist at local schools and Liverpool (Walton) Prison. I also run SAA Art Zone, at Abram near Wigan, and Tutor Watercolour classes at Sunshine House, Scholes, Wigan.
I'm a Resident Artist at The Boonric Gallery, Inglenook Farm, Rainford.

My Acrylic painting Just another day, was nominated Highly Commended in the 2011 SAA Artist of the Year Competition; out of over 6,200 submissions, just 59 paintings were recognised for such certificated awards.

I've produced a series of paintings, both Watercolour and Acrylic, to raise funds for Bletchley Park (WW11 Code Breaking Centre), and prints of these are on sale at BP, all proceeds being donated to the Bletchley Park Trust. My recent watercolour of The Queen unveiling a commemorative Sculpture to the WW11 Veterans has been made into a First Class Stamp, and released as a First day Cover, and to celebrate the Alan Turing Centenary, 2012, three more of my paintings; The Turing Bombe Room, Turing's Cottage at Bletchley Park, both of which are Watercolours, and an Acrylic on Canvas depicting a composite of the essence of Bletchley Park, have been used as First Day Covers.
I'm very proud that two of my paintings; an Acrylic of The Colossus Machine and a Watercolour of Turing's Bombe Room were auctioned at an ACCU (computer programmers) Conference in 2011, and raised £1,200 for Bletchley Park.

I regularly exhibit at The Gallery Liverpool www.thegalleryliverpool.co.uk and am a Regional Society Coordinator and Professional Associate for the SAA, - The Society for All Artists.
