I have been semi retired for a number of years now, from teaching drawing and painting in the local community, (Art Tutor, South Devon College,) although I continue to create high quality artwork in my two areas of interest, life drawing and painting and all subjects 'marine'. My work is realistic in style and reflects my eye for detail and accuracy. Although I do still accept the occasional commission, I restrict myself to briefs that echo my preferred subject matter and natural style. I also have many 'finished' works in several folios for sale. I was recently accepted as an associate member of the Society of Graphic Fine Artists in London and exhibited with them in their open exhibition at the Menier Gallery this October, 2010. I have also exhibited with the Royal Academy and in the Mall Gallery; as well as having many works in private collections throughout the country. Showing work exclusively in London and Bristol to the exclusion of local galleries was a mistake on my part which I hope to rectify ASAP. I hope this will be a positive beginning?
