about the artist
I was lucky enough to study Fine Art at Gravesend School of Art and later at Rochester College of Art in Kent in England in the early 1960s.
At that time students were taught Classical drawing skills , where working from the model was the practice of the day , and I developed a love of Figurative Art . Now , after a lifetime of doing other things , I am free to follow my passion once again , and I am loving it.
My work is mainly figurative, but I always strive to convey more than mere flesh and bone, but to capture the 'Spirit' as well as the form.
My work can be viewed here on my website.
I also showcase my latest work on Artstack and on Facebook.
