About

Colour, from the beginning, has been my connection. 

Painting, both creating it and studying the history of it, is how I bring these feelings about colour into the external world. 

Colour is that wonderful, ever-changing, ephemeral element in our lives that is not fully understood. A universe without colour is, quite literally, unimaginable. It is crucial to our lives, in fact crucial to all beings, and often central to survival. Colour is a vital form of communication, for colour transmits messages more rapidly than any words. Colour is a language without barriers.

My degree is in Art History, specialising in Early Italian Renaissance and Dutch 17th Century. 

I currently teach art history courses on The Renaissance, The Baroque, English Art and Architecture and selected Great Paintings, from my studio in Deal.
