A lifelong interest in art, partially dormant during my surgical career, has burgeoned over the last 15 years. I am now fully retired from my profession and have much more time to develop my art.
I took up my appointment as a consultant general surgeon in Milton Keynes in 1983 and helped to set up the department in a "green field" site hospital. My particular areas of interest then were vascular and malignant disease and latterly the treatment of breast disease and the management of short stay surgery, in particular abdominal herniae.
Over the last ten years with great help and encouragement from my friend Graham Morgan, I understand the craft of painting slightly better and as any artist will acknowledge, "I wish I had known this 40 years ago"! There is so much wisdom available which sometimes can be unintentionally counter-productive and block creativity. But, it's never too late and some of my work now gives me great pleasure.
I held a joint exhibition with Joe Little at the Westbury Arts Centre, and have previously exhibited in the Bedford Street gallery and in the AIM gallery in Milton Keynes - now sadly closed.
Most of my seascapes are based on the coastline of the Algarve, but also Norfolk, Wales and the Outer Hebrides. Wave forms hold particular fascination.
