Artist Statement: "Having won a Bursary Award from Hertfordshire County Council, I was accepted by Harrow School of Art for the Drawing and Painting course headed by Sanders RA. The course was a thorough grounding in drawing, print making and painting. We were trained in multiple mediums, including Oil, Water colour, pen work, pastels, silkscreen printing, etching and lithography. This was good preparation for the career I chose as an Artist /Illustrator. I could turn my hand to any work that came along. My first job was with an advertising agency as a visualiser. I soon tired of the in house work and became a freelance illustrator, book jackets and magazines.
Influenced by the work of Sanders RA, especially the oil paintings of his garden, I began to paint in oil I was offered a one man show at Liberty's in Regent St London. It sold well and I found a ready market. This was followed by a show at Heals Art Gallery. During this period I held teaching posts as art master at Rickmansworth Grammar and Lockers Park Prep schools. The latter located close to the Grand Union Canal. I became inspired by the Waterways, the wonderfully colourful boats and the tranquillity. Pastels, Watercolours, oil paintings seemed to just flow."
