I was at Canterbury College of Art in the 1980's (gaining a BA (Hons) degree
in Fine Art) still in the days of Art School Abstract Expressionism - but spent
many of my days cycling through the Kent countryside enjoying the nightingales
and painting in the open air, or going up to London to set up my easel in front
of the Old Masters in the National Gallery. I then went on to do a post graduate
diploma in the History of Art at Oxford University, where I concentrated on the
Renaissance.
I've been based in Edinburgh for 25 years, bringing up a family, and now teaching the violin and playing it too, as well as painting. Now I have a proper studio again at last I am trying to devote more time to painting, bringing a lifetimes interest and preoccupation with nature into my work.
This Autumn I went with Axolotl Gallery (www.axolotl.co.uk) to the London Affordable Art Fair. From December 15th to January 26th, I shall be exhibiting in the community room of Morningside Library. You can download a flyer for more details, here.
My new venture for the turn of the year is my 2012 Calendar which you can see previewed here. It is on sale for £7.50. Buy Design Gallery nr. Ancrum, and Dirleton Gallery in East Lothian are displaying one or two of the featured paintings alongside the calendar, and it can be bought at other local outlets.
