I’ve been a professional artist since leaving Gray’s (where I was a mature student) in 1985. Before that I worked as an illustrator for the oil industry, educational publishing and (many years ago) for Yorkshire Television. I have been a mental health care worker, and a lecturer at Aberdeen College and at Gray’s School of Art (ad hoc). Recently I retired from Roevig Folkehoejskole in Denmark, where I was the senior art teacher for over a decade.
Over the years I have shown my paintings in the Roger Billcliffe Gallery, the Rendezvous, Gallery Heinzel, the Whitehouse Gallery, Eion Stewart Fine Art, the Torrance Gallery and Gallery Q. These days many of my available paintings can be found at the Finzean Farm Shop, the Milton of Crathes Gallery and the McEwan Gallery.
