I am proud to be a sixth generation Liverpudlian, although I have to say I support Everton.
I have a Masters Degree from the University of Liverpool and have published four books on the Travel Industry in Britain. However, as far back as I can remember, I have been fascinated by the sea and I have sketched and painted.
I lived in Southport for 40 years but currently I live on the Wirral. Here I am surrounded on three sides by water and beaches and I am within easy reach of the mountains and scenery of North Wales and the Lake District.
My preferred mediums are Pastels in the Summertime and Acrylics and Mixed Media in the Winter. I belong to several Art groups in the North West and have been privileged to meet some exceptionally talented people
Over the years, I have lived, sketched and painted in many places in Europe, South Africa, North and South America.
For this exhibition I have chosen the theme of Beautiful Britain. There are paintings in Pastels, Acrylics and Mixed Media and subjects include the Lake District, North Wales, the Hebrides and the Orkneys.
