I was born, grew up and was educated in Glasgow. I trained at
Glasgow School of Art 1957-61 under William Armour & David Donaldson
(1957 - 61) followed by a year of post graduate study (1961 - 62
(Highly commended). I then taught in schools in Aberdeenshire, Glasgow
& Fife 1963-88. In 1989 I left teaching to paint full time.

With my wife Lesley we set up the Courtyard Gallery in Crail 1993-2001.
I have exhibited widely in the UK with many solo shows as well as group
and mixed exhibitions including the RSW, RSA and the RGI, the Cleveland
Drawing Competition, the Sunday Times Water Colour Competition
& the RSW summer open.
