I was born in London but have spent most of my life living in Surrey. I am married with two grown up sons. I can't honestly say when or why I first became interested in painting, having spent most of my working life, in finance and a short spell in the police force, although I always enjoyed drawing as a child. I began painting in oils, in the early 1990s, but after only a short time, I stopped, in order to concentrate on a new career. I discovered watercolour, a few years ago, which is now my preferred medium. I also like to paint with acrylics. I have received no formal training, I am self taught. I have a varied portfolio but I would like to think that trains are my speciality! I try to portray the speed and motion in my varied railway paintings, from steam to old slammers and to the most modern trains that currently frequent our stations.. .
