Honorary Life President of Flanborough Bird Observatory, Fellow of the British Trust for Ornithology

1933 Born on 14th December in Great Yarmouth
Self Taught Artist

I exhibit at the SWLA annual Exhibition at the Mall Galleries or occasionally at other bird art exhibitions like the Wildfowl Trust.

I use pencil, pen and gouache or paper, card, boards, scraper board. I use brushes and sponges to apply the gouache. I work from both photos and life usually creating one artwork at a time. I start by sketching my subject. My main source of images is 60 years of field sketches and notes of birds.
