The plan was to go to art school but I got diverted and spent 20 odd years playing the drums and keyboards in jazz and rock bands, touring, recording, writing. I played in the UK, Europe and around the world. I recorded an album with jazz/rock group Catapilla, wrote songs and produced and recorded music.

In 1989 I bought a big box of chalk pastels and enrolled in a life drawing class tutored by Laurie Rabson who had been at The RA Schools and was a tutor at Croydon College of Art. Laurie was a very skilled artist and an inspirational teacher - after he retired from formal teaching I continued to study with him privately and learnt much from his approach and way of seeing.

I continued with life studies for many years and continually rehearse my drawing skills, particularly with The Chapel Artist Group - a loose association of artists who meet on a weekly basis to practice painting and drawing.

I show my work in London and the South East of England in various galleries and exhibitions. Please contact me via the contact form with any enquiries about sales or commissions.
