River Series R1 Painting

I am English and born in Liverpool. After boarding school in the Lake District and York, I moved to London where I lived until meeting my wife Virginia Bradley () at a residency in Spain. Virginia gives our romantic background on her Saatchi pages! We now live in Great Barrington and love being back in the country life. As a Fellow of the Institute of Civil Engineers I worked for many years in England with the Consulting Engineering firm of Felix J Samuely and Partners (Samuely worked wit the Bauhaus architects before fleeing Nazi Germany and setting up England). Initially at Samuely I was involved with the re-building of St. Thomas Hospital, opposite the Houses of Parliament and the development of a new University, Warwick. My speciality became inner city re-developments taking responsibility for numerous multi-million pound projects all over England. This complex work required the ability to see the essence of a problem which encouraged my love of the simple and minimal that has become the feature of my work.
