About The Artist

I've been painting from a very early age, and have had no formal tuition. I was never allowed to attend Art College, so instead became a Draughtsman, before going on to be an Engineer. I have exhibited 4 times with the Guild of Aviation Artists in the Carisbrooke Gallery, Marble Arch, London, and way back in 1995, when the SAA was the Society for Amateur Artists, I did receive a Highly Commended, at the Westminster Exhibition. I have been in many other exhibitions, exhibiting a wide range of subjects, and have done a great many commissions over the years. Currently I regularly demonstrate, free of charge, at my local Art Group(s). Some of my works have sold in Europe and the USA, and one or two have made it to Australia! (many have sucessfuly made it to the bin too) Recently I have become an Associate of the American Society of Aviation Artists (ASAA) I consider myself to be an amateur, as I have never been able to make a living from my art. Only when my art can sustain me, will I be a professional. My web site is www.artpainter.co.uk so please take a visit, leave a comment in the guest book too if you feel like it. (it all helps) Although with my work, before I retired, I had taken many thousands of photos, I cannot seem to photograph my own works, to do them justice, so please forgive me.
