I was born in 1939 in March and I went to the March Grammar School. I spent most of my working life as a gas, plumbing and heating engineer. I then joined my wife in her antique and second hand business which then progressed to a china and gift shop. I retired from the business and we are now both enjoying our retirement.

I started to paint in 1990 in water colours and acrylics. I then progressed into wet in wet oils which is my favourite. I prefer to paint inside rather than outside. I enjoy painting, I find it very relaxing and I would recommend it to anyone.
