Cartouche Painting

I trained as a painter at the old Walthamstow Art School and after a career in teaching and lecturing in art history and art I have returned to painting. My early influences were the New York School and the neo-Dadaists who followed them. Now, however, I am much keener on the English landscape tradition and its engagement with abstraction, particularly the St Ives painters and most especially Peter Lanyon. My practice is varied and often I will follow a theme or work in series and have recently been working in print and drawing with all works on paper.
