I'm a portrait painter and a teacher and with my wife Sally I run L'Atelier du Soulondre, a Painting Holiday Centre, in the 10th Century town of Lodeve which is a short drive from Montpellier in the Midi.
I've travelled all over the world to paint and teach and have exhibited throughout Europe and North America.
I've been a prize winner in a number of International Competitions, I've been invited by The Falkland Island Government to paint throughout the Islands and exhibit in London and Stanley.
Major commissions have been given to me by Marine Companies, Olympic Sportsmen and women, Educational Establishments, owners of dogs and horses, wives of husbands and husbands of wives.
