Artist Statement:
A Hampshire resident, who
worked in the banking sector
for most of his life, followed
by some years working for a
naval charity, then a school.
His spare time was spent
dinghy racing, winning both a
National and Inland
Championship.
Following his “retirement”
from the competitive sailing
scene, he decided to fill his
time by learning to paint.
Self taught, and unencumbered
by formal art training, he is
driven by his love of the sea,
which is reflected in his
pictures, this has resulted in
over a hundred and ninety
originals already being sold
in the UK, USA, Canada, and
Europe.
Selected as an award winner in
the Artist Choice Awards in
2005 and 2006 for his maritime
paintings. Working mostly in
watercolour and also in
acrylic, he favours maritime
and coastal scenes, but also
produces outstanding
landscapes.
He says that watercolour is a
challenging medium, but when
it all comes together, can
produce a seascape in which
you can almost taste the salt
air. For more information and
