He
was born of Scottish parents in Welling, Kent in 1948 and after moving
to Ayrshire at the age of four he was subsequently educated at James
Hamilton High School and Kilmarnock Academy before going on to Glasgow
School of Art 1966-70 where he specialized in Drawing and Painting.
After leaving Art School he trained
as an art teacher and taught firstly at Kilmarnock Academy and then at
Grange Academy where he became principal teacher of Art and Design.
He has had a number of one-man
exhibitions at Rozelle Gallery, the Harbour Arts Centre, the Morton
Hall and the Dick Institute and has also exhibited in the Royal Glasgow
Institute and the R.S.W. Works by him can be seen invarious private
galleries throughout Scotland.
His subject matter is predominantly the landscape of theIrvine Valley round about the town of Newmilns where he stays. In
recent years he has also focused on marine subjects, findinginspiration from various locations in the west coast, namely Troon,
Dunure. Maidens. and Girvan. He works in a variety of media: oils,pastels, gouache and watercolour and finds his inspiration by
working directly in front of the
subject throughout the year. Anessential aspect of his working methods
is to try to communicate in
his work the excitement that he feels when witnessing an everchanging subject at first hand.
