I was brought up in rural Lancashire and studied Fine Art at Preston Polytechnic in Lancaster. I moved to Leicester in the 1980's.

Alongside the artwork I also teach part-time at the University of Leicester’s Embrace Arts Centre, the Fosse Arts Centre and at a number of other colleges and art centres here in Leicester.
I’m a member of Leicester Print Workshop and Leicester Society of Artists.
