I studied at Leeds College of Art and taught in Hull
before moving to Lincolnshire. I was Lecturer in Ceramics at Grimsby School of
Art and ran a pottery studio with my wife Avril until I retired from teaching in
1990 and at that time was a Member of the Craftsmen Potters Association of Great Britain. I have been a full-time painter since leaving teaching mostly in watercolour and have exhibited in commercial galleries in the UK. I have also participated in a number of Open Exhibitions in London e.g the Sunday Times Watercolour Competition, The Royal Watercolour Society and the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour. I am a Vice President of the Lincolnshire Artists' Society and currently its Membership Secretary.
