Influences

I studied Fine Art at Edinburgh University and specialised in drawing and sculpture.  Tutors  included George Mancini, Bill Scott, William Brotherstone and Vincent Butler.

Painting and Sculpture

When I moved to Cambridge  I developed my sculpture and  worked on portrait and figure commissions.

More recently in Unpainted Pictures I have concentrated on drawing and painting, all  worked to a level of  perfect incompletion.   I aim to capture a fleeting moment of observation with bold contrasts of light and dark.   Think of bright sunlight and deep dark shadows. 

Doing and Teaching

I seem always to have been teaching, even when I was at University.  I have taught in schools and colleges and currently teach classes for students and adults including the popular Life Drawing at Anglia Ruskin University.  More information in  Cambridge Life Drawing.

I often open my studio to the public.  Take a tour of 2005!
