Born in Hereford, grows up in Wales and Yorkshire. Studies at Sheffield College of Art and Slade School of Fine Arts, London. Professors: Frank Auerbach, Sir William Coldstream and Anthony Gross. Establishes Studio Prints, London and in 1969, after moving to New York, Studio Prints II, New York. Prints as a masterprinter original Monotypes for Motherwell and Etchings for Dali. Beginning of the 70´s he decides to concentrate exclusively on his own creative work. He is rewarded one of the most famous American Art Awars, the John Simon Gugenheim Fellowship for developing a new printing process which allows monotypes on paper and canvas up to a size of 7" x 7". The Museum of Modern Art New York developes a plexi box-frame especially for his "3dimensional" work.
Extensive travels to Mexico and Guatemala change his work from the pure abstract to more figurative motives. The monotype is used as background. He still works on paper and canvas as well as experiments with metal and sculptures.
During the 1980´s he grows impatient and tired with New York´s Art Scene. He moves to Stuttgart, Germany. Being back in Europe he returns to the seaside where he was influenced when growing up in Wales. And so the new work reflexes his return to the places which first made their impression on him, as you can see by the "Beaches of Europe".
