About

Born 02 12 1938 Bridgend,South Wales. Resident in London in the 60s/70s the events of which triggered my painting career, I have lived and worked in South Devon for the last 28 years. Being a self-taught painter I have been able to to find my unique style of painting and drawing which explore the joys and fears of humankind.I have learned much by watching other artists at work and from the words of those I consider to be masters of art such as Francis Bacon, Max Earnst and Mark Rothko: "A picture lives by companionship, expanding and quickening in the eyes of the sensitive beholder. It dies by the same token. It is therefore a risky and unfeeling act to send it into the world." I feel that it is worth the risk, as do collectors of my work.My paintings mean whatever the viewer sees in them. But that individual meaning must not be seen as the artist's intention.
