A Scottish Painter in the Fens
Although I was born in Scotland and lived most of my life in “The Queen of the South” Dumfries, I moved to Ely, Cambridgeshire, some 15 years ago.
Now that I am retired I have more time for my art and I have converted my garage into a Studio/Gallery. While I paint most days in my studio I prefer to paint in front of the subject and can often be seen in and around Ely with my easel or sketch book. As well as enjoying the painting I love meeting people who often like to stop and chat.
I sell regularly usually to people visiting my gallery and I have completed several commissions on various subjects. I open my studio gallery during Cambridge Open Studios each July and I have several works hanging the The Royal Standard Hotel on the Forehill in Ely.
Although I enjoy meeting my buyers direct I appreciate not everybody can visit. Therefore I am happy to mail paintings if required. Please see the store above or contact me direct.
Paintings make individual and thoughtful gifts and I offer a Certificate of Authenticity with all my original works, if requested.

Cambridge Open Studios
You are cordially invited to visit my Studio/Gallery at 9, Beech Lane in Ely, CB7 4QZ as part of the 50th year of Cambridge open studios. This year I will be open on the weekends of 6/7th, 13/14th and 27/28th of July between 10am and 5pm.
This year I am showing some new works from in and around Ely. I am also trialling a new type of frame to me – a floater frame- which I think gives a more contemporary look and makes the work stand out. I make or recycle all my frames and am happy to discuss this and show you the equipment I use.
I am happy for you to spend as much time as you wish in the garden and studio, without any pressure. I hope you will find it enjoyable and relaxing.
For more information please see my News Section above.

BSA M20 Motorcycles
My father worked for many years as an AA Patrol. Some of that time he used a motorcycle and side car. There is a gallery dedicated to him and his motorcycles.
