I originally trained as a teacher in London, then moved to Brighton in 1976 where I went to Brighton Polytechnic Faculty of Art and Design. I gained a degree in Graphic Design in 1980. I lost most of my vision due to cataracts in both eyes and only began painting again after successful operations in 1995. My visual liberation has completely altered the way that I paint. I love to use strong, rich colours to describe the changing landscapes around me. I use pastels, pen and ink, and acrylics to interpret what I see.
