Painter born in Bradford who at the age of 12 was given a paint set which was the beginning of a lifelong passion for painting. Despite a disabled right hand, the began a course at Bradford School of Art but left after just 18 months for a job as a lithographer in a printing firm. However, the still wanted to pursue his interest in art so began to paint commissions in his spare time. The Myrtle Place art shop in Bingley came up for sale and the took a gamble and bought it. About the same time, a local industrialist gave him a painting commission that helped him financially in the early stages of his new career.
His range of work was wide and spanned local landscapes, urban scenes, portraits and abstract art. The Bradford and Bingley Building Society mounted a display of his paintings in its entrance hall in 1980 and his work can be found worldwide in private collections. One of his paintings, of Bingley Parish Church and the Old White Horse Inn, was presented to Prime Minister, Mrs Thatcher, when she attended a reception for local Conservative Party workers in Bingley, in 1985.
