Some of my carvings can be viewed at Sherborne Abbey.

I have had works also exhibited at : The Images of God Exhibition, Central Milton Keynes, Philadelphia (USA). I have spent many years teaching life drawing and individual tuition in all mediums, with my preferred mediums being mainly in oils, using traditional style portraits, and also in the Renaissance and Victorian styles. I also paint fine botanical studies in watercolours and desigm animal portraits in oil and stone.
