About The Artist

I prefer to be known as a painter and trained at Glasgow School of Art early 60's when students were taught how to paint and how to see through drawing. I have two distinct styles - one is working outside where I set myself a tight time limit - 45 minutes - to allow me to capture the essence of the view as well as my emotions. My time limit does not allow me to niggle and produce a boring topographical image as a camera can do that much better than I can. I like to think I draw with paint rather than colouring in with paint. My studio work is completely different and I have called this my synchronicity series and have decided to show these. My 'Synchronicity No 2' was short listed for a world wide prize recently.
