With both parents teaching art to thousands of secondary school pupils between the 60’s and 2000’s some of it rubbed off. I followed an educational path from an Art Foundation Course at Manchester Polytechnic in 1979 to a BA(Hons) degree in Communication Arts which led towards an early career in countryside interpretation.

Securing a Post Graduate Diploma in Countryside Management formalised 18 years of experience managing South Manchesters countryside. In 2003 I joined the Forestry Commission as a Project Officer developing Newlands, a significant regional land restoration initative. Now living in Teignmouth and working as a Torbay Arts Development Officer and working in a school grounds development role at Oaklands Park Special School

Whilst living in in Devon I have been inspired by the landscapes in the SouthWest and have acrylic painted canvasses on en plein aire, continued to photograph the regions wildlife and worked to share my knowlege of the natural world
