My work revisits a classic era of 1930’s Railway poster design. Painted in gouache on paper, my style has been influenced by the artists who were famous for creating the pre-war advertising posters. I particularly admire the work of Norman Wilkinson, who I have recently discovered was an old boy of Berkhamsted School – where I worked in the art dept for 20 years. I recently sold a picture to Sir Kier Starmer of him at Downing St, and have also sold to Boris Johnson showing him at Chequers, and designed the Chesham & Amersham Liberal Democratic MP Sarah Green’s Christmas card. I received a letter from our late Queen thanking me for the picture I sent of her riding in Windsor Great Park. I paint local pictures in and around the Chilterns. I live in Tring and am chairman of Berkhamsted Local History Society and produce local history books.
