Trained as an Architectural / Engineering Technical illustrator.
In 1990 had a Brain Tumour removed which all but ended my professional career.
Self Taught in soft pastels and maintained an alternative income from painting pet portraits
In 2015 Self taught Oil painting and now have an equal deep passion in painting in both media
Although I greatly despair about the abuse and plight of many animals and the wanton destruction of the environment.
Given my own circumstances I do as much as I can through charity auctions and percentage sales to help out with my paintings.
