Enquiry Basket: 0 itemsAfter training as an illustrator at Brighton College of Art, I moved to Pembrokeshire in 1968. Since then I have worked as a painter, illustrator, teacher and writer. My paintings are influenced by the landscape of France as well as that of Wales, although most of my work is not, now, topographical. Rather, it is in a precarious hinterland between representation and abstraction,where information gained from years of drawing from nature has synthesized with the imagination and the excitement of paint itself.
I have had solo shows in London and Wales, and contribute regularly to mixed exhibitions; in 1986 I was Artist in Residence at the National Eisteddfod. I have taught at Carmarthen College of Art, and regularly lead workshops with children and adults. In 1992 I received a Welsh Arts Council grant to study the relation between painting and music, and in 2001 gained a PhD in Philosophy from the University of Wales. My work is always on show at my studio gallery in West Wales and is in the collections of the National Library of Wales and the Contemporary Art Society for Wales.
