I live in East Anglia and paint mainly in oils.

 

I was born and brought up in the east end of London. Its streets and the lives lived within them strongly influence my work.

Before becoming a painter I had careers in academic literature, in broadcasting, and as

a doctor in the NHS.

 

After a period of informal training working across a wide variety of media, I did a diploma in oil painting at the Norfolk Painting School and after that painted mainly in oils. 

Since then my work has been shortlisted for a national painting competition and has also been chosen for the front cover of a professional journal.My paintings are held in private collections in Europe and the USA.

​

My painting style is mainly figurative and expressionistic with a narrative component.

But sometimes it is just about trying to capture how a particular kind of light falls on something or is reflected in it or on it.
