| About the Artist |
| I commenced my painting career in the Studio of Arthur Spooner - one of Nottingham's most famous artists, over a two year period. Before entering advertising as a Graphic Artist. I moved about to various studios throughout England to gain experience, I also taught art for three years. In 1984 I was the winner of the "silver Palette" competition, which is sponsored by Derby City Council and Derbyshire Building Society, a prestigious award for artists living in the Midlands, my painting being chosen out of 400 entries. I have completed three calendars for British Coal, who have presented my paintings to the Duke of Kent and numerous Politicians. My work is also shown on Spillers Calendars and on a range of quality greeting cards. |
