I was an original member of The Bristol Print Workshop and went on to study etching in Spain at La Fundacion de Rodriguez Acosta in Granada, spain. I studied teaching but put all my energy into painting and printmaking and have been exhibiting in the UK , USA and Europe for the last 30 years. I was sponsored by the DTI in 2000 and 2001 to have a stand at an International trade fair in New York and as a result have work reproduced in The UK and USA. I am currently painting and putting together a body of work. Next year I will will be tutoring on painting holidays in Spain and the south of France .
I have work on The Bridgeman Art Library available for reproduction.
Drawing is the bedrock of my work , it is the first stage apart from selecting visually, in the creative process. It is through drawing that I internalise the spirit of my subject. It is not the absolute visual reproduction that I seek but the very essence of it. My sketchbook is always with me and if I am away travelling as soon as I return I will begin work in my studio still holding the memories of the place. Alternatively I take my easel down to the sea or onto the hills and record my subject with oils or acrylics and then develop a larger painting or print from this small study Landscape, the sea, racing skies shadows over the hills, blue distances, lanes disappearing through valleys and over hills and objects on a table of the day and what they mean to me.
I will be tutoring on a painting holiday near Carcassonne at the beginning of June this year. Also in Spain in May in the province of Soria. If you are interested do contact me with your email address.
