Abstract

1.  Solitaire, Acrylic on canvas,  100 x 91 cm magnify

I am based in the town of Troon, on the Clyde coast, South West Scotland. Since my parents were both theatrical people it is perhaps not surprising that I tended to follow a career in the arts. I was involved in theatre design and production for many years until deciding that painting allowed for a more individual form of expression.

I studied for four years at Glasgow School of Art. While there I was awarded the Governors prize, The Scottish young contemporaries prize and the Scottish Arts Council Award.

I was elected to membership of “ The Glasgow Group” and was invited to exhibit at the “Institute of Contemporary Arts”, London. Since then I have had many Exhibitions in the United Kingdom and abroad, and my work is held in various public and private collections.

I spent 20 years in art education and theatre production. During this time I developed an interest in sailing, retired from education and spent some years sailing the Mediterranean.
