born in London in 1941, was educated at Newport College of Art and at the Slade School of Fine Art.

In his own words:
"My paintings have been concerned with various aspects of time for a number of years now. For example an individual work can attempt to convey past and present time within the same image.

Scandinavian mythology is the source of some of the imagery, and the Finnish epic poem 'The Kalevala' beloved of Sibelius, has been a particular inspiration. The imaginative and exciting contrast found in these texts, has I hope, found some echo in my paintings."
