I work primarily in watercolour and record the urban environment, chiefly for publication in instructional books – these include Drawing and Painting Architecture and The Watercolor Artist’s Index of the Urban Environment (both David and Charles publications). I have a particular interest in urban textures and always seek the granular detail found in brick, stone and plaster, especially in the more derelict parts of towns and cities. I also enjoy the feeling of graphite on cartridge paper and draw regularly.

As the majority of my work is for publication, it is not often exhibited, although earlier in my career the Bury St.Edmunds Art Gallery in Suffolk did show the original illustrations of my books. I have had work shown at the Mall Galleries in London when working with the Society of Graphic Artists. I have contributed articles for Traditional Homes magazine along with the Artist and the Artist’s and Illustrator’s magazine.

Although I have retired from all formal employment, I still love teaching and running courses, and always welcome new opportunities to share skills.
