About
I have lived in South Cambridgeshire for many years and most of my paintings celebrate the East Anglian landscape, working mainly in soft pastels and recently in oils. I also draw in sepia ink. Exhibiting widely, I have been shown at the Mall Galleries in London as well as at prestigious venues in East Anglia, also in the South of France. Over 350 of my works are now in other people’s collections in many other countries as well as the UK, including numerous commissions. On this site you can see paintings and drawings from the UK, Europe, Australia, and the Caribbean. Most of these works are no longer available for purchase, but they demonstrate the range and style of my painting and drawing. The landscapes are in soft pastel unless otherwise indicated.
After retiring from a career in publishing I was able at last to concentrate on painting and drawing. During this time I studied for several years with James Horton, Past President of the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA). In 2006 I was elected a member of the Cambridge Drawing Society (CDS) at the first attempt. The Society, founded in 1882 and with some famous members over the years, holds two large exhibitions a year in Cambridge containing all kinds of painting and drawing and is much respected.

Prints and Cards
Fine-art prints can be obtained from me of a number of my paintings and drawings. (See under News and Contact for details.) They are the same size as their originals, printed on art paper using state of the art digital technology, and in many cases they are indistinguishable from the original. They are supplied without mount, frame or glass, enabling the client to frame them as they wish. Price on application, probably in the region of £50 including p&p. (For comparison the gallery or exhibition price of the original work is likely to have been in the region of £250 to £350.)
Greetings cards + envelopes are also available, 4-sided plus envelope, £2.50 each, p&p extra depending on quantity. This is an example, typical size 4″ x 6″. Some others are 5″ x 7″.
Please note that mounted prints of Trinity Hall, Cambridge (current price £35) and plain postcards (60p) have to be obtained direct from the College. Contact:
