About The Artist
"I am irrevocably drawn and inspired by things of
beauty, interest and colour. We live in a world of
unique and exquisite beauty from the delicate
intricacy of a flower or butterfly, to the
magnificence of a mountainous landscape. The
effect of light and shade on a subject inspires me
to paint and I endeavour to look beyond complexity
to focus on tonal values, simplify the subject or
view and create an impression which brings rest to
the eye."
Career
I paint in a loose, impressionist style. I am
influenced by artist like Ken Howard, John
Singer-Sargent, Sorrella, the masters of
chiaroscuro, who emphasised light and dark tonal
values almost to the detriment of colour.
Primarily I am the
pastor and teacher of a church in Woking, I have
painted professionally for nearly 30 years,
holding solo and joint exhibitions in the UK and
across Europe. I regularly hold painting classes
for students and I am often invited by various
Art Societies to demonstrate, hold workshops and
appraisals.
Recognition of my talent
and ability date back to my early childhood when
Annigoni viewed my work and recommended to my
parents that I should pursue my painting. At 12,
I won a scholarship to junior art school.
Working in watercolour
or oils, my choice of subject is wide ranging
and my faith inspires me. I paint what I see and
feel - those things which exercise my mind and
cause me to stop, look, think and imagine.

a terrible future for the earth is likely in the

doesn't have to happen if enough is done to stop
it, but action needs to start now!
