Born in England at a place called Skipton North Yorkshire on the 22.01.1955 to a working class family, given a secondary education but the best art you could get under the artist and teacher David Binns (listed).
At the age of 15 left school and down the wrong path as bad boys do,
Married twice started painting again with the second marriage and then stopped painting at the birth of my daughters for 26 years.
Then became divorced and started again but should have started at the beginning but no I started where I left off ?.
I love to paint anything that catches my eye and also the things that had an effect on me as a child, like the TV series (last of the summer wine) (all creatures great and small) and the film The Horses Mouth 1958 also animals and the ballet?
I love my painting and with passion and look for the perfect painting but there is always one better.
