Biography

I started painting many years ago with no formal training, I am a self taught watercolour artist and have become very accomplished with the fast & loose painting style, over the years I have become a strong and passionate advocate of pure watercolour. Many of my paintings were sold in Paris, the Chanel Islands and the UK, a large quantity of my work was bought by a collector in the UK. I also sold my paintings in three galleries around Yorkshire with one being in my home town of Bradford which was very successful until the retirement of the gallery owner. I, as can be seen from my paintings, loves to paint nature, such as rivers, canals and country lanes and farm tracks and the more trees the more I likes it. Artists such as Ron Ranson, James Fletcher Watson, Edward Wesson has strongly been an influence in the building of my style with the watercolour medium, fast & loose.
