I retired from teaching in 2015, and am painting now on a regular basis,

I prefer to draw and to use watercolour and mixed media on paper., and am inspired by the natural and man-made landscapes of my native North East England, and locations I have visited and documented on my travels in Britain, Italy and France. My artwork reflects an interest in historic places, buildings and artefacts and an appreciation of the people from the past who helped to shape them.
