Born in Bangor, North Wales, I lived in Snowdonia until I trained as an architect at Bath University. After initially working in Aberystwyth, my wife Mary and I moved with our young family to Pembrokeshire where I worked as an architect until taking early retirement in 2000. Since then I have concentrated on painting the landscapes of Gwynedd which I have loved and walked since childhood. After living in the North East of England for two years we have moved back home to live in North Wales again.
