Throughout my working career 'teaching art' during which time I had strived to practise what I preached, I pursued both my trained specialities; painting and ceramics.

During this time I assimilated many influences from visits to galleries and exhibitions throughout this country and Europe and even from my students. However I had also pursued and maintained an interest in various themes peculiar to me throughout this period and am still following and developing them today.

I believe that there is an affinity to my work in the two very different mediums and that they compliment each other.
