Biography

After graduating with a degree in Agriculture, I returned to work at my family’s dairy farm near Brecon, Wales, where I was born and brought up. It was here that I developed my love of the wild and beautiful landscapes of Mid Wales that are a constant source of inspiration. Unfortunately, due to the economic realities of a small family dairy farm, I was forced to leave to search for work. After a succession of different jobs and a fair amount of travelling, I am now settled as a primary school teacher in Bath. I am a self taught artist, and have been heavily influenced by many painters including several local artists such as Meg Stevens, from whom I acquired much advice while she was painting on my farm, and the late Reg Gammon who lived for many years at Capel y Ffin. I exhibit my work both privately and through galleries in England and Wales.
