    After studying art at Goldsmiths, London University, I went on to pursue a career in education. Since retiring from the teaching profession I now have time to indulge my passion for painting which I do most days in my studio at home. I mostly work in oils and my subjects are varied but I have recently focused on local landscapes close to home in West Yorkshire. I also produce small oil paintings of wildlife and still life subjects which I sell at local craft fairs. My painting style is probably best described as contemporary realism and my paintings are straightforward representations of subjects that appeal to me. I want the viewer to instantly recognise and understand the subject chosen, but without me having to include every detail which I feel can look fussy and overworked. In this way I strive to create interesting and appealing paintings that make full use of the qualities of oil paint.
