About  

As I am a poor struggling Artist working in a garret, I am unable to pay for expensive IT consultants so I am forced to produce my own website. I would therefore be very grateful if you could report any broken links, mistakes or other difficulties that you may find on this site.

I was born - Sheffield, England and I am living in the Ecclesall area of the city.

My training was at :-

• Junior School of Art and Design (Sheffield)
• Sheffield College of Art and Crafts
• Leeds College of Art
• Retford (Teaching Certificate)

I worked in many areas of Arts and Crafts - Furniture Design, Product Design, Pottery, Etc. before obtaining a teaching certificate and becoming a school teacher.

After taking early retirement from teaching, I have bumbled along as a sort of freelance artist/designer.

I do sometimes produce "serious" work, but I do not see why "Art" has to be po-faced so most of my work (especially my Automata and the commissioned "Pen and Ink" work) has an element of humour.

Over the past few years I have been concentrating more on painting, usually fantasy Townscapes, Cityscapes and Industrial scenes (often containing a humorous element).
