I retired from being an art teacher fifteen years ago. I taught in a number of schools in both London and the west Midlands. My last post was at Lordswood Boys School in Birmingham. Since then I have continued painting and drawing though for the last two or three years for a variety of reasons I have not been able to have been as active as I would have liked. I have not exhibited my work for some time now. I heard about Warwickshire Open Studios last summer, unfortunately a little too late to get involved in last years exhibitions. I fully intend to exhibit this year.
