My first set of paints were called “Guitar” watercolours, I loved the greens which were vibrant.

Living in Harrow as teenagers, our mum used to take my brother and I up to Rickmansworth at weekends. We discovered Chesham, the Grand Union canal, The Chilterns, the river Chess at Chorleywood and Fishing!

I liked doing sketches, drawing the skeletons of the trees and boats along the canal in the winter, bringing them home and constructing scenes. Dad used to bring calendars home celebrating British watercolour artists such as Roland Hilder and S R Badmin which influenced my paintings.

Harrow Art school changed everything for which I will always be grateful. My career was set in commercial art and illustration for which I have been fortunate to earn a living as a freelancer until the present day. I don’t think I lost the urge to draw figures in their surroundings and sketch to and paint “en plein air!”
