"assembling everything to capture my feelings and sentiments while telling a story"
A Somerset lad, but most of my life in Christchurch, Dorset. always had a passion for painting and drawing although no formal training, trained as a printer as his career when leaving school - as such went to severel art colleges for City and Guilds training so always in contact with Arty stuff. My artistic interest continued during the years as a printer and later retrained with a BSc (Hons) in Computing.
Originally inspired and encoraged by local artists here in Christchurch Dorset Alan & John Hayden, Derek Herdson and Christopher Hollick my work reflects this, containing many paintings of Mudeford Quay, Christchurch Harbour and the surrounding landscape.
Although the subject matter did and still does overlap my execution is totally different.
I like to say traditional paintings with a contemporaty twist.
