Literature

Landscape, marine and still life painter in oil, watercolour and pastel; illustrator. He was born at Wallsend, Newcastle and after his education at a local grammar school went onto take BSc Geology at King College (now Newcastle University). A diploma in geophysics from Imperial College followed two years later and it was while studying in London that a chance visit to the National Portrait Gallery reawaked a boyhood love for drawing and painting. This led to part time study at Hammersmith and Chelsea School of Art, and on returning to Tyneside to work as a technical editor with a local manufacturing company he began attending Newcastle University, gaining a certificate in art.

He then became a full time artist. He exhibited widely across Northumberland. In 1999, he won the Dover Prize in the annual exhibition. Major exhibitions of his work were held at the Tallantyre Gallery, Morpeth (2000) and Colliers Gallery (2002). He resides at Ponteland, nr Newcastle.
