Started painting seriously on retirement from business in 1995. First exhibition in 1996, followed by about 10 others up to 2012. all at Lionel Wendt. I am self-taught and gained invaluable knowledge visiting the Tate and National Galleries living in London for five years as a student during which time I also visited the Louvre. Returning home in 1995 regularly visited the galleries also in Amsterdam, Brussels, Brugge, Florence, Venice, Bologna, Rome and the Boston Museum of Fine Art on business.
