About

Many things influence the choice of subject matter used in my artwork. As an architect, I appreciate the form, structure and detail of the built and natural world. I was taught to sketch and draw the human figure by Sam Rabin, at adult education classes, a useful skill for my architectural studies in Manchester. At university, I learnt technical drawing, requiring the use of a drawing board and t square, for hand-drawn plans, elevations and perspectives.

In recent years, I have focused significant time on drawing and painting. Starting with a blank piece of paper or canvas, I sketch with a pencil or brush in a disciplined manner. There are many subjects that call out to be painted, but plants, buildings and people presently hold my attention. Living in south-west London, my recent studies include plant and architectural elements found nearby at Hampton Court Palace and Kew Gardens.
