ABOUT
EDUCATION

I'm a novelist and painter. I've published 9 novels in the UK and a nonfiction book, "True Stories and Curious Incidents from a Provincial Library." I've always been interested in art. My grandfather and great uncle were painters but it's only late in life that I've found it for myself. I've sold a number of my pictures in the UK and exhibit at St Anne's Galleries in Lewes. East Sussex with a number of shows in Brighton. I've also exhibited some drawings on London's South Bank. I now spend as much time painting as I do writing. I'm interested in narrative, atmosphere and stories. My heroes are Manet, Hopper, Ravilious, Sickert and many others.

I was educated in Derbyshire and studied Social Sciences at the University of Sussex.
